Definately get an aftermarket pump. I do not know how my old Holley setup worked as well as it did with the stock pump but it did. Once I upgraded my pump I noticed more power and less fuel economy LOL! I would highly recommend the off the shelf pumps they sell at Napa. The in-line centrifugal type one that is rated from 6-8 PSI I think it was. Costed $50 and was very quiet also (almost as silent as the stock pump).
If you got the RB Holley manifold and the carb then install is pretty easy. Remove rat's nest, cap off return line, hook up brake booster line, throttle bracker, etc. I am not sure what you will be doing for the OMP. I made a fitting and T'd the OMP lines into the primary bowl via the float bowl sight screw. You can pre-mix also and just block off the OMP (1oz 2 stroke per gallon so like 16oz 2 stroke for a complete fill up).

the omp is easy to hook up and u might need to slightly rebend the metering rod to work with the holley. not sure what all the kit comes with other than the bracket for the throttle cable and spring. if it doesn't come with something for the omp lines, get a 1/16 NPT nipple. it will thread right into the sight plug on the primary fuel bowl. get a vac "T" from an auto parts store that is in the shape of an "F" that is simular in size as the oil lines on the omp. this F shaped vac T will be placed upside down at the omp. two short pieces of hose between the F and the omp. what this does is convert the two oil lines into one, which will be connected to the 1/16 NPT fitting u threaded into the primary bowl. hope u can follow this and much luck to ya.
as in previous post, the holley needs 6psi fuel pressure. anything over that will work but u will also need a pressure regulator to go with it. a GSL-SE pump would probably work along with a fuel pressure regulator.
