That tank on your '96 Caprice isn't just a surge tank, and can't be replaced with anything from the after market that I've seen. The hose on the top of the tank connects to your throttle body coolant port, which connects to the coolant line that moves coolant from the rear of the cylinder heads. The only way to improve the looks of that tank is paint.
