the foam and bladder was in very bad shape, being 12 years old. Does the collector box with the pump sit on the rubber bladder in the center rear of the cell, Have the side fill will I have to trim some foam to allow clearance for the flap?

Fuel Safe uses at least two methods I know of to mount the collector, ether bond the collector to the bladder or block it in place with the foam.

If you haven't done this replacement before, there is a procedure many folks use to mitigate the explosion hazard when working with the foam. After draining all the fuel and letting the cell vent for a couple days, rinse the bladder and foam with water before attempting to position or remove the foam. This will reduce the chance of fuel vapors that can explode from static electricity discharge while removing the foam.

Have fun.
