Thanks greenacres2,
yes, it was all new when I took the pictures. I first took pictures of the old pumps so I would get it all back together. One pump was loosing fuel right out of the electric connector and the whole cluster was 15 years old, though only 47,000 miles. As I planned to keep this car, I thought it best to replace both pumps, the filter, accumulator and the tubing/hoses. The tubing still could have been used and the rubber boots are actually original. I use Wurth rubber treatment, a glycerin product, to keep rubber in good shape. The only thing I couldn't replace was the hose coming down from the tank. I was afraid I might round that 21?mm nut, thats how much force I applied and it still didn't budge. The hose got my rubber treatment and I decided to take the chance.
This is how it looked before:
