Easiest electric fuel pump conversion?

I've got an '85 that originally came with an LG4 so as far as I know, it has no electric fuel pump. I've just picked up an L31 to build and swap in so I'll need to convert to an electric pump. What's the easiest way to do this on our cars that don't have fuel pumps in the tank?

Should have a lift pump in the tank. For replacing the engine mounted pump, I've had good luck with these little guys:

I used this one. But mounted close to the tank to give the fuel a push up to the block-mounted mechanical FP.
