You should not have to bypass the lp. Just user the pusher to the lift and the lift to the IP.
Tons of people do this without a problem.
If you need to bypass, just connect the input to the LP to the input for the fuel filter.

You won't really know if you have enough pressure until you check it with a pressure gauge...you can check my picture gallery for lots of fuel press. gauge pics.
