I'm assuming you're talking about the electrolevel compressor. Those are still plentiful in the men's malls. Most uplevel GM cars of the 80's and 90's as well as minivans had them. They are very reliable so I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a salvage unit. The connectors changed over time, but that is easily adaptable.

On the minivans it is located in the rear underfloor in front of the rear bumper--those will require a chnge in the connector. On passenger cars, they are usually located in the engine compartment on the inner fender liner--usually but not always on the driver's side. Many of those will not require a connector change.

Ass-u-me-ing we are talking about compressors for the leveling system: How many compressors do you currently have? Early 1978's (Electro-Level) have one and later 1978's (Electro-Level II) have two.
The compressor from some of the GM cars are equivalent to EL II compressors.
The single EL(I) compressor needs to be a little larger and have a higher duty cycle than the smaller ones in the EL II. They pump up both airbags. Check with the Jims (JimB and JimK) for properly sized replacement.

I forgot to mention that some early 78s have EL I, only one compressor for
both bags. That compressor is a little more robust with a heavier duty cycle
than the EL II's are. Be selective as to which one you need.
