1981 console used that space for the computer, I'm assuming they are giving you one of those.

For the 8 track, there was a 2nd bracket in there.  It looks pretty much like the bracket they all have, which catches the bottom of the dash and the map pocket.  They had to add that 2nd bracket at the factory.  In my opinion, if you were prepared to add it, then you could mount the 8 track player.
