I replaced the fuel pumps a couple of months ago. I could not get my pump line in the tank either. I spent more time trying to get the gas out than the time involved replacing the fuel pumps. I can't tell if yours is a coupe or convert. with the cuopes some people have been able to get into the tank trough the speaker hole on the rear shelf. I had to pull the fuel lines and plug them with a 10MM Allen screw with O-rings to stop it from leaking. then pulled the tank out enough to open it up. Then I was able to pump the fuel out.
