New Plumbing question

Hi all! I am beginning the overhaul of my 65 Sovereign. I am switching to PEX and I would like to add a pump. Two questions:
1) Can I use my old freshwater tank ( It is in great condition)
2) Is there a basic layout on line I can refer to

Yes you can use your existing freshwater tank.

The best thing to do, when switching to PEX, is follow the existing plumbing. There are some basic layout diagrams out there but they are not especially helpful. In general you want ot keep the lines inside the coach as much as you can.
