Fontyys bike runs a ram air system so the float bowl breather pipes have to be plumbed into the airbox to apply air pressure above the fuel in the float bowl, you wont have to do this if running a open HRC style airbox.

Nope, there's no need for a fuel pump if you're running with an open airbox.

There are 3 hoses on the standard airbox: 1 on the left to drain any water that gets on top of the lid, and 2 at the rear that run from the sub air filter to the carbs to displace the air when the carb slides move. Having none of them fitted won't make a difference to performance.
