Then what you need is the kitsus.com Kit 133

Kit 133. PIC16F84 Trainer. A redesign of Kit 81 which integrates a Test
circuit of 5 LEDs with the Programmer.
     The 16F84 does NOT have to removed from its socket. Just push a
pcb-mounted 4 pole/double throw switch.
     All I/O lines are brought out to pads. Version 4 top overlay shown
in preliminary documentation. 3/99.
     Top overlay & schematics. Preliminary.
