I'm not sure why anyone would want to swap the fuel system over to the
passenger side when you could just buy the fuel line adapters so you
could put Motronic injectors on CIS-E lines.  You do not need to change
the fuel pumps for Motronic.  If you want to be sure about the performance
of your current pump, run a pressure check.  In all my Mk1's, I've only
ever seen a single style of accumulator btw...I believe that they are
mainly in the system to help to prevent leak down fuel pressure while the
car isn't running.
