Steve;
Thanks for the response.
I would prefer to use that tubing. Is it available only from dealers or would Napa and such have it as well?

Dennis, 
Are you talking about the plastic line or the steel line? Either can be made up up. The plastic is pretty much the same as the fuel lines used on the newer Audis (and pretty much all cars for that matter). Cut the old stuff off the metal fittings carefully so as not to nick the barbs and duplicate it with the new plastic line. It can be heated and formed with a heat gun. I deal with a few repair shops that do/did this on a fairly regular basis. Old Porsches or other cars use the plastic lines for CIS injection. 
 
The metal hard line can be bent and formed pretty easily. I have the double flare tool needed for the ends. 
 
The other option is to make up what you need from AN lines.  
The pump is easy. Pretty much any external pump made for fuel injection can be made to work. 034 sells a kit I believe using the Bosch O44 pump. There is also a Walbro that is commonly used.
