It will have one Yes.
I have not quite figured it all out yet but it looks like im going to go with a 15 gal cell from jegs and that cell does have a return line.

oh ok so your getting rid of the old 18 gallon and getting a box like one, right? i can look at the diagrams that chevy wrote for istalling and placment of the origional fuel filter but if you are getting a whole new system, id find out what other racers are doing.
Chevy put it before the pump, to, as i said, save pump damage. Thats what I'd go with.

You need to put some kind of screen or prefilter before the pump and a normal fuel filter after the pump.
The screen or sock filter keeps large particles from damaging the pump and the normal filter keeps the microscopic particles from pluging up the carb passages or injectors.
