If you are at all handy, you can fabricate the an equivalent adapter
yourself -- it has been reported on this list that the John's Cars bracket
is a little pricey for what you get.

Alternativelly, you can install the GM unit as described in the
'modifications' section of Kirby's book.  It eliminates the air pump and a
belt.
