Not lower flow, lower pressure. You can use EFI fuel pumps with carbs bet you need a pressure regulator that can drop the pressure from ~70psi to a more carb-friendly pressure (5-8 psi I think).

According to the FSM, the NA fuel pump flows at least 1.3L/min (which is good for about 200fwhp), and the Turbo fuel pump flows at least 2.2L/min (which is good for about 350fwhp). This assumes the pump's getting full voltage.
