so with the mechanical fuel pump leaking that goes down around the oil pan and back can that really go in and mess the motor up like I have heard on the Internet

I remove this too. I've tried leaving it in place in the past and removing it seems to cut the work in half. Maybe that's just the four letter words?When the steel fuel line to the filter is disconnected from the Lift Pump, Fuel only drains out of it...if you crack the fitting at the top at the Filter. Other wise I suppose it could drain fuel from the Filter.
I just removed it and set aside.
I didn't see your new gasket so I don't know for sure, but were those holes supposed to be smaller? I've seen gaskets, especially ones like this that like to fall down and are hard to keep in place, that purposely have smaller holes. This is so you can thread the bolt(s) at least part way through the hole(s). This does two things. It holds your bolts and it also keep the gasket lined up. Of course there's also the possibility that I am using the smaller holes wrong and actually invented something really cool. I really tend to doubt that though.The 2 paper Gaskets that came with the new pump, the hole were too small for the bolts, and had to use a hole punch to enlarge them.
No only the upper end of the hard line between the lift pump and the filter has an olive. The lower end has a compression fitting and doesn't need anything else to seal it.On both ends of the Hard Supply line are rubber seals referred to as Olives.
