You can do that for testing purposes, but I don't think it will be any easier 
than running it from the front.

The fuel input is on the left side, while the return is on the right, bled off 
of the regulator output.

You can just hook it to 12V for a test. The polarity is marked on the side of 
the connector. The three nipples are as follows: pump input is farthest from 
the connector. Pump output is in the middle. The nipple closest to the 
connector is the overflow, which you can probably just block off for this test. 
(Blocking it off MAY make it hard/impossible to prime, so you may have to open 
it briefly to get the pump to actually pump.)
