. You would need the Chevy pump for TPI (Tuned Port Injection/multiport injection) for 45 psi... the TBI (Throttle Body Injection) system works at about 15 psi... all rubber hoses need to be fuel injection grade for high pressure and resistance to 10% ethanol gasolines... standard fuel line hose can't take the pressure for long and some get eaten by ethanol fuel in a couple of years...

ok I got the engine in my 49' F1 and have a question on the fuel lines
the E250 had two fuel tanks and a junction cylinder where 4 lines come in and 2 go to the engine so is their a way the take the junction out of the line say a male/male fitting for the ford fuel lines. I have been looking at my local orielly /napa no luck

That '89 had a giant disaster of a fuel system on it, dual tanks with low pressure pumps in each one, and then a frame mounted high pressure pump and something called a dual function resovoir that switches fuel delivery/return between tanks and also provides a buffer between low and high pressure pumps. You need most of this to have a functional system with a single tank, but a single function resovoir has to be substituted and the fuel lines to the second tank capped or... maybe a better idea would just be to get a tank and fuel lines from a '90+ truck, those later trucks have a much simpler system with a high pressure pump and resovoir inside the tank and lines straight to the engine for single tank trucks.

You can delete the pump completely, I have done this in the past on this vintage motor with nothing but a shorter serpentine belt. You could cut down the original belt to the necessary length and take that to the parts store to help find a new belt to match. Be sure to set the tensioner somewhere in the middle of it's range when measuring belt length otherwise you won't get any preload on the new belt and it'll slip.
