That's a vane type vacuum pump, odd stock mounting, it just sort of sticks out there.
You're also right in the time needed to finish the project, I felt 90% done three weeks ago!! The custom brackets, hose and wire routing and extra pieces and parts are extremely time consuming and, like you've observed, I don't want to skip the details towards the end of this project.
It's not very often when we, as long term users with mechanical experience, can factually improve upon the original engineering but it does occur.
