Do you know if anyone sells an adapter harness for it? I'd be all over that if I can just plug and play, but I am not confident enough in my soldering (nor do I have the tools) to repin and mess with the plugs and stuff

Usually when you find a jumper harness it is to upgrade, not to down grade.

Then give these threads a read:

You'll have to ignore the first few pages of that first thread, as that was before adapter harnesses were readily available.
