You will need a spindle pin puller!! When you do the rear wheel bearings it makes removing the lower control arms possible.

I was wondering how it all comes apart. I will need to do some more research about how to do it properly, as opposed to my usual way of blindly undoing things until it comes apart ?

That's right, just a jumper across that blank fuel pump plug in the loom sends power to the pump. Any safety device like your oil pressure detector or if you use a inertia switch, they just go in that jumper loop. An inertia switch would allow the pump to run when the key is on without oil pressure being detected. My own preference is the inertia switch in the jumper loop so the pump runs anytime the key is in the on position. This allows me to pressurize the fuel system before I actually start the car and will cut power to the pump in the event of a crash. The oil pump detector method requires a circuit that will run the pump with the switch in the start position without oil pressure. This thread covers the circuit you need for the oil pump switch method.

Couldn't tell if it was smoking because the key was on or because the battery was connected.

A better way to test the wiring before connecting the battery is to measure resistance between the positive cable terminal and the negative cable terminal.  A short circuit will show up as low resistance.  Then you can go wiggle and disconnect various circuits until the short circuit is found.  You can do the same when turning on the key.  All circuits should have some resistance.
