Replacing Fuel Lines - Advice?

Replacing Fuel Lines - Advice?
My 91' Maxima has the good old fuel smell to it, which it sounds like leaky fuel lines according to this fine forum. I've done basic things like replacing brakes and changing the oil, do you think I would be able to replace the fuel lines myself?
I can kinda of tell which ones are the fuel lines, but I would like a confirmation on about how many there are or their locations so I know I am getting all of them. I understand that there are a couple tricky ones on the VG motor...

get new clamps.
replace the ones going to the filter from the tank.
replace the line going from the filter to the engine.
replace the line going from the fuel rail returning to the tank.
if you still smell the gas then replace the one that connects the two banks of the injector...towards the pass side.

Thanks a ton for your help! This forum is way better than other automobile forums I have come across.
I got to looking into it tonight and noticed that I have a gas leak underneath the car by the gas tank. I'm sure this is the source of the smell, but will eventually replace the other lines as well. This leak is on a metal hose that is U-Shaped by the cross member. I think I might have a dealer fix that leak, since it could actually be coming from somewhere else. Plus, I don't think I want to mess with having to take the tank out if need be.
