Looks like a good start, you're lucky you have the height to keep the original manifolds.
I pulled the distributer out and plugged the hole with a Welch/core plug; if you want to make decent power you'll need an aftermarket ECU (which can use a trigger wheel set-up). I needed to get rid of it for clearance, the Mk2 escort engine bay is quite tight for clearance

A former club member put something like this setup into his Cortina Mk2 1600e, probably 10yrs ago now.
The project was written up in Zoom magazine. The supercharger pipework would not have looked out of place in an art gallery.

On that big hill heading south of Sydney on the Hume, my V6 Capri torque was leaving everyone else behind until this white Mk2 zapped past me. What the ??  Really pulled up the hills, but still looked a sleeper.

Sounds good, I'd like to track down the article.
I've given up on the supercharger/twin charged setup in favour of a straight turbo; to be fair it was a bit beyond my skills and budget. It'd work really well with a little rotrex but the mini charger was just too application specific
