Depressurizing Fuel Injection System on an 83

Seems like there are many ways people say to do this, but I was wondering if there is a preferred method anyone would like to share.

Per the photo below, this looks like a decent place to try and bleed out the pressure... or am I wrong? This is on a 83 F.I. spider

Remove vacuum hose from top of fuel pressure regulator (the nut you circled is attached to it) Apply vacuum for a few seconds and you are done.

just put a rag around the connection as it may spurt fuel

I've always pulled the fuse to the fuel pump, start the engine and let it run until it dies. Now there is no pressure.

I usually pull the hose off of the CSI, easy to get at, but make sure a rag is wrapped around it, and the engine is cold.
