Only just seen this post, have you made any progress ? I think I can point you in the right direction if you are still going ahead with the swap.

Dont battle if its a bosh pump break off the black plastic box & under it is the fuel cut off solonoid valve.Connect the ignition feed wire to it .Ignore all others unless it has a solonoid for the cold start you could wire it.
