Another Question - electric to Manual pump change back

I have lots of Q's tonight.

On the 72 I am looking at, the owners buddy had an electric fuel pump installed , because he had a dual carb intake on the 350.

It is now back to standard manifold, with QJet. I think that the fuel delivery is too much for the current setup, and if I buy the truck, I immediately want to put the mechanical fuel pump back on.

I have lots of questions on how to hook up a mechanical fuel pump, as I have never done this repair before.

Is an Edelbrock pump a good one, to go to a performer 1406 carb, or is it a waste of money, and a standard generic pump for a 350 good enough?

My other question is can I just unbolt the pump cover plate, and simply bolt a mechanical pump back on with little effort? Does the lever that sticks inside the block have to connect to something, or does it just go right in with no problems? any tricks or issues that I should be aware of?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I have never changed a fuel pump before. I just think that I dont want an electric one, and want to put it back to mechanical.
