I would favor just installing the stock system - it does not seem very complicated to me, but I am no mechanic. I did see a work around for a failed OEM dual tank set up that used a manual valve mounted on the outboard side of the floor pan next to the driver's seat. Fuel hoses from the two tanks ran to the manual valve and then to the fuel supply line.

I think the hard part of an OEM set up is getting the proper length and bends in the hard fuel lines. Others can post the wiring diagrams, and I think I have pics of the actual wiring installation on an older dual tank set up, if you want to see them. Rewiring from scratch should not be difficult. So, if your hard fuel lines are intact, I would still go with the OEM set up.
