Where is the fuel filter? Where is the fuel pump? If, in tank, can it be replaced without removing tank?

It's in the tank and you do need to remove the tank. This guide will help you with diagrams below to show you how on your car.

I am trying to find and replace the fuel filter on my car it is a CXL model. I will be using an ACdelco fuel filter and gasket. What is the procedure to find and replace that part?

It is in the tank in the fuel pump assembly. It should not need periodic replacement for general maintenance. Lucky you. You can relax and enjoy the work you do not have to go through!

Your fuel filter (called the fuel strainer) is located in the gas tank at the end of the fuel sending unit.
