Holley 2-way pump on 3-way OEM setup

I purchased a Holley mechanical fuel pump that has one inlet and one outlet only. How would I hook this pump up to the OEM system of one inlet and dual outlet (one for fuel tank return and the other, larger to feed the carb). I was thinking of using a T-fitting on the outlet (maybe restricting the fuel tank return), but will my pressure drop? I hope I won't starve my engine at higher rpms.

Run one line from the pump to the carb, and one is return to tank. There should be some sort of directions or labels saying which is which.

Yep, just plug off that return line. That pump is meant to work without a return.
