Good job on sorting the wire harness. That can be a real mess.
Yes, the fuel hoses are just a simple barb push-on connection. The metal collars you see are the factory style of clamp. Technically they should be reusable but I find they are often in poor shape. Plus I find them difficult to reinstall properly. So I just cut them off and use the clamps Karl referred to; they are specifically designed for high pressure fuel injection systems. I find them to be much better than the collars, they look like this:
Sometimes referred to as "mini clamps", or "high pressure clamps", or "fuel injection clamps". Available inexpensively online or at most parts stores. The size will read in millimeters for the outside diameter of the fuel hose you get. And as suggested, be sure to get high pressure fuel injection hose for everything from the pump forward (up to the pump can be regular fuel hose). As for the hose size, as stated it is 7.5 not 8mm. You will find some hose makers offer a size that is marked as both 7.5mm and 5/16", or both 7.5 and 8mm; it is actually a nominal size in between the two and I have used it successfully with the clamps shown above (but it won't work well with the stock 'metal ring' clamps). But if you can find true 7.5mm it is best. The lengths of hoses you will need probably are not the same as any 'pre-made' kit due to your engine swap. I'd measure the lengths of each type needed and buy it in bulk (get extra). Also, as Karl said that pump will work fine....it is actually better than the stock replacement Fiat FI pump as far as the specs go.
