Default Fuel line routing for Pontiac powered F-bodies?

I feel that I should know this but it's been 25+ years since I put a fuel cell in my 78 T/A.

My 81 T/A and 80 Formula were both SBC powered from the factory and the fuel lines run up the passenger side. Did the Pontiac powered cars have their fuel lines on the drivers side since that's where the pump is?

For my 76 TA the fuel line runs along the driver side. The vent line extends over the cross-member, then across the back of the cross-member to run down the passenger side. The charcoal cannister line also runs down the passenger side.

Thank you, I figured running it on the drivers side would reduce several feet of unnecessary fuel line for a autocross application.

Yes Pontiac runs up driver's side as the pump is on that side.

I used the passenger side on the Camaro event hough it has a Pontiac motor as electric pump and Holley line is on passenger side.
