Default Fuel pump replacement

I currently have the stock fuel pump in my car that I recently replaced about two years ago so the strainer should still be in good condition. My question is I would like to buy a walbro 255 pump and can I just buy the pump, or do I need the "kit" that includes a hose, clamps, electrical connector, strainer, seals, etc. Here is one of the kits i am talking about :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I would like to just buy a used pump and save $50 if possible, but is the extra stuff necessary, or will the new pump bolt right in?

Thanks!

Well it comes with the pigtail for a reason. Just as most aftermarket pumps do. You might as well spend the extra cash so you don't to do it later.
