On the 0-200 to run a pump on the side in most cases you have to get the case
have the case modified. A very few 0-200's were made already drilled so it is
so it is legal to have it done but then come's the problem you
have to use a cam that you can bolt the gear and eccentric on
to. Oh buy the way the little gear eccentric combinations from
Cont. cost about 1200.00 bucks. If you want to drive a
mechanical pump and not have a vacuum pump you can get
an adapter to run the pump off of the vacuum pump pad.
Again you need the correct cam no gear just an eccentric on
the cam. I found all of this out because I am installing 15 gal
wing tanks and removing the header tank and needed a primary
pump plus the electrical standby pump. I had my 0-200 case
drilled in Oklahoma for the side mounted pump. for what
its' worth.

I don't know whether this information is overly conservative or flat out incorrect, but after studying the Ercoupe TCDS's, the Engine TCDS's, parts catalogs, and consulting an astrologer, I have come to the conclusion that any pump listed for either the C75, C85, or C90-12, (but NOT the C90-16), can be used interchangably. The above link indicates the C75 and C90 use the same pump, but not the C85. The C85 uses the same case and camshaft as the C75 so there can't be a mechanical issue.
Ercoupe TCDS A-718 lists the AC 9051 as suitable for the C75. Aero Accessories lists it as suitable for the A65 and C85 but not the C75. For Ercoupes, at least, I'm inclined to go with the Ercoupe TCDS. TCDS A-787 lists 4 carbs for use with either the C75, C85 or C90-12 and 1 carb ONLY for the C90-16, AC 6861, also for the O200. This all makes sense because the C90-16 and the O200 both have vacuum pump drives on the cam and none of the others do.
(Note that Aero Accessories states that the C90-14 may use either the 9867 or 9076, but the only difference between it and the -12 is the engine mount. Go figure...)
QED (?)
Of the pumps that are readily available, the AC 9051, 9076, 9867 and 4036 are all suitable for installation on the C75, C85 and C90-12. The AC 6861 MUST be used on the C90-16 and O200 for mechanical reasons.
Fuel flow rate for all pumps is the same. (I have no specs for the AC 4036). Pressure for the 9076 is 5-7 PSI. All the others are 3.5-4.5 or 3.5 to 4.75 PSI. The stroke is 1.937" on the gang of four and 2.062" on the 6861.
And now you know... The Rest of the Story.
