Livened up my Epi Explorer. First thing I would do, if you have not tried this already, is raise the pickups close to the strings - That will give you a lot more output. Also you can raise and lower the individual pickup screws to adjust the volume for individual strings. If you have tried that and still don't have enough output. An alternate to new pickups - A lot of companies make boost circuits that will increase your output.
Emg makes Wiring kits, that you can buy separate from the pickups. Removed all the currently installed passive electronics. In install the emg's with the emg kit.
I assume it will come with instructions, if not you should be able to find instructions on the EMG website. I would agree that you shouldn't upgrade that guitar with those pickups. However since you already have them, why not get some use out of them. I would save the orginial electronics leave the wiring as intact as possible and save the pickups, put them in a shoe box and store them somewhere.
If you want to sell the guitar in the future put original wiring and pickups back in and remove the Emg's and put them in your next guitar as you would not be able to add the value of the Emgs to the used value of that guitar.

We'll list all the parts for this upgrade, along with some additional recommendations that go beyond the pickup swap, which is already set in stone. We're pairing the EMG 81 and 85 active humbuckers, along with a couple other parts for boosting the value of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard, primarily focusing on the electrical components.
Epiphone Les Paul Standard. EMG 81 Humbucker. EMG 85 Humbucker. Dunlop Super Pots. Gibson Top Hat Knobs. Epiphone's Les Paul Standard sits at a price point that makes it a good candidate for an upgrade. It's got a solid base body, but Epiphone goes cheap on the humbuckers and potentiometers. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a good "upgrade guitar.
Tuning and intonation should be pretty stable without the floating tremolo factor. Active pickups are a different animal than passive, and we think these really improve the appeal of your Epiphone LP Standard.
We like the added sustain, better handling of distortion, and overall quality upgrade this humbucker set brings to your guitar. Read more: Active VS passive pickups. Note that the pickup set will need to run off a 9V battery since they're active , which should come with the installation package from EMG. Epiphone uses a fairly cheap manufacturer to make their pots.
So whenever we do a build guide, we recommend swapping with Jim Dunlop Super Pots.
