I think the holder is different between the single point pumps and the multi point pumps so you will probably need to get one from the scrap yard.
wont take tong to whip the top of the tank off and have a look though

The pump is fine, you just need the housing to put it in. No deed for a new tank or anything

remove the old fuel pump and housing, fit the new 16v fuel fump in the old housing and re-fit.
simple as that.

Its only a 5 minute job to take the top of the tank off and see so you shouldnt waste too much time. If its different just put the lid back on and go get a new holder for the pump
