I ended up with a very simple setup. I can't remember all my reasoning since it was a couple years ago but here are some pics and a diagram. I have a total of 4 vacuum lines. SICS and BACS are tied together with a T and go straight to vacuum, running down the side of the timing cover. That's...

You could import one yourself from a Japanese auction site: https://www.japancardirect.com/ Here's a Mud thread with info on importing: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/information-re-importing-to-the-usa-and-complete-diy-how-to.1242055/ Obviously we have the classifieds section here on Mud...

Shipping alone was $500, or the whole thing shipped was $500 total?

I honestly might. Once all these projects are done.

Local junkyard had a '91 so I grabbed the AC hard lines, drier bracket and pressure switch to relocate my AC drier to the battery box.

Built a new clutch pedal

Built the clutch pedal tonight. The pedal isn't covered in any FSM I could find so I had to go off the EPC diagram, and I kept a spare clutch pedal assembled to use as a reference. The pedal and bucket are NLA but all the other parts are available new: Here's a few photos mid-assembly...
