Where is the fuel pump located on this vehicle? I am wondering if it is in a location I can change it myself or if I have to drop the fuel tank.

You do not have to drop the fuel tank to remove / replace the fuel pump and sender unit.
It can be reached from inside the trunk.
You have to remove the carpet, and look up under the rear window speaker deck. There is a metal cover held on by (7) 10mm nuts or bolts I believe. Remove these, and you can remove the fuel pump.
The only caution is, you have to be fairly limber to get inside the trunk to do this. Also, because you are in a cramped and awkward position, be very careful because you are working around gas fumes. Keep open flames away, and try to use something to keep the air circulating or blowing thru.
