OEM style Nylon fuel line and connectors: Help me understand

Hey everyone,
I had originally planned to do braided stainless line for my entire fuel system for my LS Swap but realized that this is a daily driver and thats a bit of overkill. I realized that a ton of new cars use the Nylon fuel line with barbed quick connect fittings.

I think I've mostly got things worked out with connectors, except for connecting to the 1987 sender.

Explained connecting to the Corvette fuel regulator/filter, and thats easy enough, but what about connecting to the fuel sender from an 87 FI truck? That looks like this



Now, in some ways that looks to be compatible with the quick connect fittings - will I need to modify it in any way? Like cut off the flare/barb? Or do the nylon quick connects just connect over it?

Apologies - this is my first EFI swap into a formerly carbureted vehicle so in the past fuel systems were just upgrade the pump and run it when I've swapped them. I'll be using all new tank/sender from the EFI square bodies, and an EP381 pump (I had thought about going Walbro but decided to just get it running for now as time is getting short before my deadline.)

I appreciate any and all info on how these nylon lines + quick connect ends work. They seem really straight forward but I am a visual learner and sometimes an explanation ahead of time goes a long way.
