One is on each side of the windshield near the bottom. The other two are near the upper corners of the hatch, above the quarter glass where the factory roof seams are

Be sure and check the lead joints at the roof really well. There can be little cracks there that show up in the paint later. Be careful that is real lead there and at the bottom of the windshield. Sanding it can be hazardous! You don't want lead poisoning!

headed into paint. sugar scoops on or off?
What paint are you using. SStage or 2Stage, solid color or metal flake? The more coats you stack then the more likely you will have problems at this joint. If you are doing a solid paint then there is no real harm in painting the pieces separately, as long as they get the same amount of coats and reasonably the same coating thickness. If you are doing a metallic then I recommend painting the whole car assembled. It makes it less likely to "tiger stripe" and it means the flake will lay similarly from panel to panel. If you were to paint the sugar scoops off the car with metallic and the flake doesn't lay the same, then they could appear to be different colors. Also when you paint the parts separately you are using a different portion of the paint in the cup on adjacent parts. If you don't keep the gun agitated enough the mix will be a little different from the top of the cup to the bottom, which will throw the color off. You could also loosen the sugar scoop bolts as much as possible and space them off the fenders so the paint can shoot down between the parts for a little better coverage...

240z sump install.
I agree, I wouldn't delete anything. The old pickup is probably redundant but you may end up wanting all the vapor points. You also need to be careful you have a known, functioning way to allow air to enter the tank not leave. If you run the tank with too much vacuum it will collapse. Not an issue with carbs at 3 psi but with EFI with high pressure it can happen. I suspect that is one reason the later tanks are much thicker. It looks like he cut the tank just about the tank flange

Before you start stripping flares be sure you are prepared for what you might find. The rear quarters may have been cut up. If they have, it can be put back original, it's just a lot more work. I love the "Tokyo Nissan" sticker on the back!

Fuel Spill Stain Won’t Come Off
A good buffing compound would be my first choice but it sounds like you may have already tried that. If buffing compound won't do it I don't know what will...
