Fueling ?
 
I have a Babby Boomer with a single tank and uat. What is the best way to plum it so it is easy to fill?

the easiest, and the correct way is to fill from the UAT with the overflow line from the UAT feeding the main tank which is vented.

It will be okay to place the vent line off of the main tank down and out the bell right?

Just put the vent out the bottom of the fuse. You can also put it out the side or the back. Most put it out the bottom using a piece of brass tube.

You can slide a line from an external tank over the brass for when you are starting and taxiing. Simply pull off the external tank before take off and you will always start your flight with a full tank.

Yes, out the belly will be fine.
I would put it off towards the side . It's makes it a lot easier to connect your overflow tank.
