I have been contemplating options other than the current primeloc setup for the fuel filter to allow easier access and visibility down through the drivers side to the p-pump and lift pump. Wondering whether converting it back to a stock filter configuration.

Please let me know if there has been a forum post referencing the 12 Valve Banks fuel filter relocation kit?

Not sure how this may work with my older Primeloc for PowerPack Bundle or Twin-Ram intake manifold installed over 20 yrs ago. Perhaps it's intended for different or improved model Primeloc.

I don't think that kit's going to help you. I couldn't find any installation instructions in the Bank's sight. The way I read it, that kit is Bank's answer to how to mount the Prime-Loc with their Twin-Ram Intake. Back in the day, the Prime-Loc and the Twin-Ram were very popular mods. What you have looks like Prime-Loc may have made a mount plate to work with the Twin-Ram. This is what the standard Prime-Loc plate looked like.

A friend bought a truck with the Prime-Loc on it that developed some leaks. Since Prime-Loc is no more, he had a really hard time trying to find the correct o-rings and seals for the repair. If I remember correctly, he ended up putting the filter back in the original location.
 
Do you still have the Prime-loc? I still have one on my truck changed, how the main plate was mounted, by doing some triming of the big plate and mounted it in the left rear corner by the hood hinge. I use to have a photo on here where its located cause there was a fair mount interest in those days. If your interested I'll send a photo to you so you can see how I done mine.

Please do so.
 
Here you are. There's duplicates. I used a Rod saw to cut the metal with being as its stainless steel.
Hopefully these will transfer.

Now if you have the four wheel anti brake system this might not work. For filters the 1253 is stolen 94/96 they have the drain in the bottom. There is one that dosen't have the drain, your choice.
 
Does the Prime Loc plate vibrate any less in this position? My guess is going to be 'yes.'

Edit: Are your heater hose pipes stainless steel or chrome? Either way, where did you get them?
