If you’re talking about the gadget with the two vacuum lines going to it on the air box cover, you can get the one without it and drill the holes into after if yours has that. I did that with my 87 Ranger. The cover I found at a junkyard did not have the vacuum lines going to it, so I drilled them in the cover for mine.
