Adding a gas tank return

BTDT (retrofit), at least a couple of times.
1st time, added 3/8 line to sender for fuel supply, used OEM 5/16" line for
return.  Vent line added to filler neck.

Second time used tank in middle 80's truck as-is.

OEM return below fuel level?  Unless I'm missing something, that's-a no
problem.  If above, nothing wrong with removing sender and extending the line
with some soldered on tubing.

Vent is tricky.  Since it's a smogger vintage tank, CCP should be ok to use. 
Old tanks w/ no baffles burp fuel if the vent's not right.

If there's more to this story than it seems, let me know.
