For Ada-calling-C, it's pretty similar, but the name of the pragma was
Interface in Ada 83 (now called Import in Ada 95).

Ada 83 did not support C-calling-Ada, nor inter-language data references
(although some compilers supported those things).

The OP should look up pragma Interface in the Ada 83 manual, and also in
the manual for the compiler.
