Ummmmmmmmmmm, I think "you still have a problem".
If I'm following your thoughts correctly, you want to convert your current VRO into a simple pulse style fuel pump. Correct? I would have just replaced the rubber gas diaphram in your current VRO with the updated, ethanol resistant, rubber one and been done with it ('cause you're not using the oil side anyways), but let's continue down your chosen path. It's not that I have a problem with your chosen path - it'll work, but........... What you ordered was just the pump assembly. That would've been just fine to fix your current problem if you were fixing that style of pulse pump already installed on your motor. But you're not! Your are converting from a VRO to a pulse pump. So, all of your VRO housings, gaskets, mounting hardware, screens, CAP, etc are all different and cannot be swapped from your old VRO over to your new pulse pump assembly. You need to buy all that ancillary crap to fit your new (on order) pulse pump assembly (and throw away all that crap that fits your existing VRO pump, including the VRO pump assembly).
Now you'll need at least Reference No. parts 2 through 7(2 pcs) from your linked post parts list.
Since at least one of your hoses WILL mount in a different configuration I'd go ahead and look at your current configuration and see what parts 8(?) through 12 you can use to make your install easier (than running down to the auto parts store and trying to make up hoses).
Gotta run. Ask questions and I'll check back in when I have time. Good luck.
