Paul,

Can you tell me the mix ratio when using 2-cycle oil in the fuel rather than the oil injection unit?
Is it better to use a separate reservoir for the 2-cycle oil with the original injection unit, or to mix the 2-cycle oil in the fuel?

Is the VAM you have shown (Bill Jepsen's, I think) a marketed item?
Does anyone market an intake system with the extra injector holes already machined?

Any ideas/answers appreciated.

One oz per gallon. You can use as much as four ounces per gallon with no apparent
harm. Both will work. Mixing it with the fuel is the most reliable as you can do
away with the metering device.

Ed Klepeis will build you a VAM with shut off valve on the front end to prevent
hot exhaust gases coming out the wrong end at idle.

Yes. My combination intake runners/bell mouths have the injector holes machined.
The bell mouths are worth 5% more HP. They are $45 each. Four are required per engine.

Thanks.  Are your runners set up for stock injectors or something else?

Those are stock Mazda Nippon Denso fuel injectors. Lucas fuel injectors will also fit.
There may be others.
