One fuel line running length of the car as opposed to two, deadheaded, but the fuel still has a return.

That's not the way a pressure regulator works. The regulator receives a mass flow of fluid that it then bypasses to a return at enough quantity to create the desired line pressure on it's outlet.
To get the desired outcome you'd have to run another return line from the regulator, defeating the purpose of running the "Corvette style" return regulator/filter.
You want two filters in your fuel system. Typically a sock type or large element 100 micron filter in front of the pump. Typically a sock for in-tank and a 100 micron filter if external fuel pump. You then want a 10 micron filter before the regulator.
If you want to do the deadhead style system, you can still do the bypass regulator back near the tank, with a 10 micron filter in front of it, then run your dead head line to the engine.
