Do you have the old System folder for Classic? That's what I have
works.. you cannot 'install' it, rather, you have to copy the folder
over from a backup.

Every time I used to upgrade MacOS, where I always preferred a fresh
install, I'd have a momentary panic when I could re-install Classic via
my very original Jaguar install discs.

So, in summary, copy your Classic System folder over to the root,
level, and iirc, that's it. An icon will show up in the System
Preferences without you having to do anything.
