as stated by br408408 above, drilling large diameter holes in the thin tank material can lead to some nasty problems - a large diameter drill tends to catch on the edge of the thin tank metal and then put a nice rip in it. Sometimes it isn't too bad and it can be fixed but every now and then it will tear the hell out of the tank and there is almost no fixing it.
cutting off the factory tubes on the 302 - so long as you have enough of the copper tubing left to slip tubing over it and clamp it down, it shouldn't be a problem. Make sure you smooth off the edges of the copper so it won't cut your tubing and do not crank down metal hose clamps too much if that is what you are using. The copper tubing used on cores is often fairly soft and overtightening a worm drive metal hose clamp can bend it.
