It should be a plug-and-play operation as far as the motor goes as the
slushbox is controlled by a separate computer.  I believe that the driver's
side axle is different between the auto and the manual, and the auto has no
front (of car) motor mount, IIRC.
You will have to drill a holes for the clutch cable and for the pedal on the
firewall.
That just leaves the shift linkage, and I'd have to dig a hole under my auto
car's shell to see if that is the same as a 5 speed....
