The Chevy unit is different from Olds. It will not clear the carb/linkage without modifying it. Nobody makes the Olds unit I know of.

Are you looking for the open element Chevy breather? I'm using the whole kit on my car but with a Holley carb and manual choke. Here are some links to compare.
You can get just the base.

Or you can get a complete air cleaner for a few bucks more.

The Chevy base is made for a Holly carb. If you are running a Holly, it will work fine, if you are running a Q-jet, Mods have to be made.
