You might end up using a fuel debubbler from a late 80's Ford. This connected to the pressure and return lines ( after the pump ) and it allowed air to go back through the return line.

Thanks for writing about the fuel pump.
You are right, if you don't have some kind of a sump the fuel, if the tank is low, can slosh past the intake and you can starve the engine. This could be bad for the engine.
Some systems use a cone of foam to help keep fuel around the pickup.
I chose the kit from Tanks. It has a small reservoir to hold fuel for the sock/pickup.
It also has a 225 ltr per hour, Walbro pump. Should be way plenty for this engine.
I will get to install this this week. Pics to follow.
