I got mine from The Last Detail, cost about $200-250, I dont remember. Cheapest place I found though.
You should replace the accumulator and orifice tube as well if you havent. Accumulator was about $40, tube was cheap.

The guys on this Board - www.ackits.com - bemoan the Discounters, particularly the Factory Aire Brand. I bought new for my truck from Autozone, and it was broken out of the box (wish I'd discovered it before I installed it, but they gave me another one and reimbursed me for the gas and oil to boot!). I'd recommend the Last Detail - www.tld-corvette.com - and you might want to make sure it comes with the fan switch which I think is unique for the '84. I believe the whole set up runs $200 to $250. If the old one seized, I'd replace the Accumulator again too.
