[Little red riding hood]

Got a mustang a few years ago, really good deal, neighbor was getting divorced, so the price was right, but it burns about as much fuel as my f250, so I didn't have much use for it, so I parked it for a couple years.
Now I need it for driving to work. (Blew the motor on the other car)
So I put a new battery in and cranked it, but no go.
I checked the fuses, they all look Good, I can't hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on, so I'm thinking that's where my problem is.
Do I have to rip out the tank and put in a new pump? Or is there a controller for that pump that might be easier to check first?
