AC/Delco fuel pump question

[realdeal8471]

I am replacing a fuel pump on a 1999 Chevy Tahoe. I am replacing it with an AC Delco part #MU1777 fuel pump module. It is a re-engineered design, and the first thing I noticed is it did not come with a new strainer. This is the first pump I have ever replaced that did not come with one. There doesn't appear to be a place to snap a strainer into place at the bottom, at least not one like the original. Then someone told me that the new redesigned pump doesn't require a strainer, as it is internal. Can someone verify this for me? I have looked on ACDELCO's website and can't find any info, and their tech support is not available until Monday. I really need to get this job finished tomorrow, but I don't want to install this expensive new module without a strainer if it is supposed to have one. Thanks so much in advance if someone can shed some light on this.

the fg0089 and the mu1777 do not have this strainer. the design is totally different .
