OK, so a no-go on the later adapter. Is there a paper gasket between the block and the bypass? I show a GM gasket #5573980. When I google it some show a flat paper gasket and some show a square oil filter type gasket. He just bought the car and is trying to sort a few things out and I'm not familiar with the older blocks. The numbers you listed are to eliminate the original bypass adapter? Sorry for the dumb questions.

The K157 AC had you put the bypass valve under the new casting. Never had the Wix one, but the pictures of it look nearly the same. I never knew they had a paper gasket under the bypass valve when I worked in gas station changing oil. Mostly we never removed the bypass piece. We had a K-D tool made especially for digging the old square cut o-ring out. There were a few times when the previous filter change guy didn't remove the old gasket and we had to remove two (or more) of them.
