Well, thats how it ended up going on.  Thanks for the pictures; I hadnt seen 
those before.  The key seems to be to orient the top banjo bolt so that the 
fuel line is riding against the lower banjo bolt.  The other edge rides against 
the egr box.  Wasn't as bad as I thought once I got some light on the subject.

The other thing that helps alot is to install the banjo bolts and the rubber 
fuel hose and clamps with the whole assembly on the bench, then install the 
whole thing in the car rather than trying to install the hoses and tighten the 
banjo bolts with it installed in the car.  Also helps to mark the banjo bolt 
orientation with the pump temp installed in the car, then tighten them on the 
bench.

Whole thing took less than an hour.  On to start bending copper fuel lines....
