other than that, i would guess maybe going to a serpentine belt setup so you can stack all the stuff close together

That would be beyond my engineering capabilities. Even the serpentine belt idea would require more than I'd be willing to put into it.
At first look, the electrical pump seemed elegant and interesting, but alas, the design of the VCV for the auto trans, just makes it impractical. For manual transmission cars, I think it is a real excellent option.
