The outlet is on the side at the very upper front road side corner of the tank. That seem like it would require a pickup tube inside the tank that extends to the bottom of the tank.
I like the idea of teeing off of the drain. Just a few fittings and some hose and a plug for the top fitting. I would have to route the hose back up through the floor to the pump.

Do you think the pump will pull water this extra distance? It's a Surflo pump I believe.
There is no problem with the pump pulling it. I do think that the pipe at the top is just a vent, don't know. Can you trace that line and see where it goes?
There is a 1/2" pipe x 1/2 hose barb fitting in it and the pump hose connects to the fitting to pull water from the tank.
