Yes, in the process of getting my 73 back to FI, I've done this.

I have the stock FI pump  and regulator with the FI regulator turned 
down as far as it will go, which I think is about 20 psi. Then I tap off 
this loop with a more standard regulator which brings the pressure 
down to ~3 psi for the carbs. 

It works fine, but if you view this as a permanent solution you need 
to add a safety shutoff for the electric pump to shut it down after an 
accident.
