    I believe The Creamery will do 3 screw pups.

    Why not leave the Carvin humbuckers in their three screw mounting surrounds? (They would still need them.) Buy whatever pickups you think best, then, choose the appropriate surrounds to suit those.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    TV Jones did adapter plates once. 

    You can make your own or ask your local luthier to fabricate one. The only thing they need are a small piece of fibreboard (like found on a fender single coil) or a bit of nickel silver and a 3-48 UNC tap. Cut a tab, drill three holes, tap the outer pair and use a cut down humbucker screw to fasten the new humbucker on. 

    It’s easier to do than describing it!

    If the surrounds are standard size that seems like the best option, loads of choice of second-hand pickups
