Default Carb To Fuel injection

Need a quick answer here.
im converting from a 2.0 pinto (carbed) with mechanical fuel pump on the block to a 2.0 Zetec
i am being supplied with a fuel pump (facet red top fuel pump) and a swirl pot.

but the zetec i have purchased has twin 45 webers on alpha management system.
will i still need the swirlpot...???

and... will i need a 2.8 tank with a fuel pump already inside the fuel tank (before the swirl pot) and use the red top fuel pump pulling fuel outta the swirlpot....
or can it just be done with one fuel pump pulling out of the swirlpot....
or... do i even need the swirly wirly bubble free pot and stop worrying and just keep the pressure low on the fuel pump and hope for the best?

All you need is a pump, no swirlpot, we mounted a facet pump with a filter/regulator on inner wing to my dads xr4i(V8), no swirly just adjust pressure to recommended, about 3/4 psi normally, we use no return line either, as we are using that to feed the pump and have blocked off the normal large feed.
