I'm in for the gun pod. I thought they had two pods.

I think the pod on the other side holds ammo, but I could be wrong.
So one is the gun pod, the other is the ammo pod.

Winterstar is correct.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-12_Equalizer
The current principal application for the Equalizer is the AV-8 Harrier IIs of the United States Marine Corps, Italian Navy and Spanish Navy. The Harrier II carries the Equalizer system in a pair of pods mounted on the fuselage sides, with the cannon in the port pod and 300 rounds of ammunition in the starboard pod, fed through a bridge at the aft ends of the pods that also contains the drive system for the gun. The complete installation, which includes a double-ended feed system that returns empty cartridges to the magazine, weighs 900 lb (410 kg) empty and 1,230 lb (560 kg) loaded.

Can someone clean up the quadruple post by Jwcarpenter. Feel free to delete this one when done.
Edit: Didn't there used to be a delete option? I can't find it.

If you decide to do this I will actually need two sets. Would the plan be to do both the gun and ammo pod?

as you can see there is a lot of things beside the TWO pods : there is a "bump" between the two pods making the link; there is a bomb or LANTIRN pod pylon and the small fence just before. (the fence help catch the vertical jet when hovering and i am wondering if the original will still work !!!)
I think PICKEL should do a complet "SKI" with all this .... you just will have to cut the original fences....
easier said than done
that's a PICKEL mission !

I just got a Harrier. So, I'd be in for one or two (just in case, another Harrier comes out)
