It says its called an "adapter", if you need one I would call a third gen specific salvage yard/used parts place or ask around on here in the parts wanted. There are a few members who have a lot of used factory parts for sale, try firebirddude142 he seems to have a lot of stuff.

If you aren't stuck on original parts, look for 88-89 air filter housing, 2 rubber bellows and the MAF sensor bracket.
May also have to change the plastic upper radiator support bracket to the 88-92 part make the factory maf bracket fit.
Much better setup
