Ok, so I am having troubles with an Enderman farm. I need the Enderman to die then have the mob drops brought to a certain location. I can not use Transposers because the are simply not in Unleashed so please do not suggest that. I tried conveyor belts, but conveyor belts apparently counter fall damage. Water won't work because they won't take any fall damage so that prevents them dieing from water before they TP away. So how can I transport the mob drops to the location I want?

Obsidian Pipes will get a bit messy when they are cluttered in a 9x9 area. It will take forever for the items to navigate to the output.

I thought about hoppers but they are a bit expensive if your using a lot. Here's the math. My floor is a 9x9 area so I would need 81 hoppers. Each of these 81 hoppers requires 5 iron ingots and 1 chest. 81 blocks times 5 iron ingots equals 405 iron ingots. If you divide 405 by 64 (a stack) the quotient is about 6 stacks of iron ingots. That's a lot! Then we have the chests. 81 chests each need 8 wood so we would do 81 chests times 8 wood. This will get us 648 wooden planks or 10 stacks (This is not to bad though.) The wood is not bad, but the iron is a bit much.
So use pistons to squish down the final drop. In a typical EnderEnder, pistons + pressure plates are used to push endermen off the ledge. You can use this to push endermen into a smaller drop tunnel, something like a 3 x 3 should be more than sufficient. There's zero need for having a 9 x 9 kill area.
btw, you only need 1 chest. Just have your hoppers feed into each other until they reach an output point.
I've actually done larger such systems in Vanilla where hoppers are really your only choice for Endermen.
Anyway, for a modded solution, try conveyor belts.
obsidian pipes are more than usable too, just add iron pipes beneath, and wrench them to force all the items to go in a certain direction.
for example make all items go from the right side, to the left, and let the last row gather all the drops leading into a chest -kinda wierd to explain, hope you get it!

Yes it is, but AFAIK range will not really exceed more than 1-1.5 blocks radius. Easiest would also be to use autarchic gates.
Instead I prefer to use the Thaumostatic Magnetizer from Thaumic Tinkerer. It will pull items in a 8(I think) block radius. Just have it pull them item towards an obsidian pipe or hungry chest or the like. This way you can cover quite large areas with a simple compact setup.
Shuffling mobs into a more enclosed space can cost vertical space which he might not have. But yeah, conveyors are cheap and easy either from MFR or ExtraUtils. Or he could carpet the floor in Item Collectors (MFR, the vanilla recipe for which is quite cheap for 8 of them) and have them output into iron pipes or me interfaces or whatever he's storing things in. The more mods one has, the more options one has for doing things.
Not exactly, he could have made a 9x9 room around the spawner (I'm assuming it is a spawner) with the middle 3x3 going down a 40 block shaft. Inside the rest of the room are conveyor belts going towards the shaft and the ground level could now be 9 hoppers instead of 81.
