EFI conversion

Hi all. I have a 1.6 laser with a 2.0 litre and 32/36 weber conversion. I have got hold of all the EFI kit off a granada and was wondering where you mount the electric pump and what mods are needed if any?

I've changed Steering rack, Track control arms, Track rod ends and wheel bearings and it drives like a different car but it still pulls :( it has relatively new calipers and the brakes aren't binding. The steer...
