Did they send me the wrong exhaust manifold?

I purchased a used exhaust manifold for my 1977 1.6 liter engine. I asked for a picture online before it was shipped to me but they assured me of compatibility. WILKEN AND SONS was supposed to send a non-High Output and non-California emission, but there seems to be some sort of AIR pump on it. My father thought it was a turbocharger when he first saw it.

Here are some pictures:

My thinking is that this manifold is from a later model (1980?) Chevette because it doesn't look like my existing manifold. The original cast iron one has no fittings, just a straight piece. But it does have a crack somewhere, thus the desire to find a (correct) replacement.
