Au Contraire, Tom! I mentioned it:
You will need to extend and reroute the temp sender wire.
The last I heard, Stan no longer had the shift plates. He may have run another batch since then. I have seen a few cars that just reversed the 4 speed plate. It did not stand out as much as you would think. Then there is the solution that Ken Ogi had - he made an insert to the shift plate that was cut to match the 5 speed plate, and it sat on top of the butchered 4 speed plate. It looked pretty convincing until you really studied it.
On the 2000 fuel pumps, a lot of aftermarket manufacturers have consolidated the part number. Who knows which you are really getting. If you are racing, then it is an issue, but for the street I don't think so.
On the carbs, the 67 SU units did not have the return line nor the fitting. It is quite easy to convert the later ones to a no return line setup.
Pardon my horrible French up there!
