That looks interesting. I read the instructions. They want you to mount it so the sides of the sump are 1/4" away from the top of the tank, then drill a 3/8" hole on either side of the sump, up 1/8" from the lowest point in the tank. They want the sender to be mounted away from the sump box so it doesn't interfere. The two 3/8" holes drilled in the sump are the secondary source of fuel, and the return (3rd bung on the sump) is the primary source of fuel to fill the sump. Seems like two 3/8" holes is a little small to me, but I'm no engineer.

For the first gens, not sure how well it would work unless it can be mounted far enough back to not interfere with the factory sending unit...or one can either offset mount the sump, or offset the sending unit as well. I guess if you're cutting a hole that big in the bottom, probably not that much more work to move the sender mounting ring on the topside as well.
