Using a second hand kit is obviously going to make it much harder. I wouldn't consider it unless:
1) It comes with all software, leads, etc. to adjust the mapping (especially if from a different engine size) and to debug the system (look at voltages, temperatures, pressures, etc)
2) It comes with a wiring diagram and fitting instructions.
3) All components meet the current ECE67.01 standards and are able to comply with the latest LPGA COP.11. This is important as it will allow you to get the install certified if your insurer requires it.
4) It is complete - right down to the nozzles from the inlet manifold.
5) It is a modern Multipoint injection setup (SGI)
Have a look here for examples of what you should be getting:

Even then, you're in for a much rougher ride than with a new kit containing every part you will need.
Unless the above can all be sourced seriously cheap and you have plenty of time and patience for getting it up and running I would go for a new kit. If you're doing enough miles to make LPG worthwhile, you will make your 700 quid back in a matter of months anyway.
Just my humble opinion....
