Did anyone provide install pics on the site you got them from? If they're sold by Summit, I believe they have a 24/7 hotline (I think someone does, I can't be sure if it's summit or Jeggs or someone else). But they'll definitely be able to answer it in the morning.

What I would personally do is try to reinstall the tube with just the extension piece (D) in tube (B), and see if the other tubes fit. Does that make sense?

Everyone else, why are you giving him answers to questions he didn't ask? Some people have this thing called emissions/inspection where they live, and cannot just delete stuff.
The smog pump is primarily used during start up to introduce fresh air into the exhaust stream, to heat the cats faster. Removing the smog pump setup will not cause the emissions to change, itll just run a little bit dirtier when cold.

Once the cats are hot, the smog pump isn't doing anything but sit there and look ugly.

i ended up doing what i thought was the way they were implying it should be set up. replaced A with E, then put ADB in place. the length of E is pretty much the same as ADB, so i feel good about this. what i dont like is that as i said, the assembly is moved forward, and now G and its hoses are tilted down so that C can connect to the pump. the line that connects to the top of G is a little taught, but im going to zip tie some things so theres no stress on it.
i was pretty jammed up all week, so calling for info was at the bottom of the list. i did shoot an email to bbk tech this morning. i expect they will suggest i do what i did. will update when i hear back.
