Do I have to buy the whole fuel pump set when replacing my fuel pump?

I'm replacing the fuel pump in my 2001 Chevy S10. 4.3L. The parts store only sell it as a set with the outer shell included, so you just take the old one out and drop the new in, but it's really expensive. Looking online I was able to find places where you can buy just the fuel pump. I know it would be more labor, but besides that is there any real difference in buying the whole thing rather than just the fuel pump? Wouldn't it make sense to replace just the fuel pump and not have to buy the whole thing? Thanks.
 
yes Gm pumps have been that way since 96......anything 96 and newer takes entire assembly they are not made to b taken apart...


EDIT: u cannot take them apart and get them to seal back they are factory crimped together......

if u want cheaper order it off ebay......they are a lot cheaper and offer same 1 year warranty.......
u can also get them in junkyards sometimes...but s-10s are really sought after fuel pumps....due to price for replacing....so hard to find in junkyards...
