Sorry I meant to say NOT installing an automatic - that was in my head anyway even though I didn't write it...

The only reason I can think of having the stuff on the rocker cover is for an automatic transmission - vacuum valve connection and Bowden cable / rod linkage etc

How about using the back plate of the governor as a mounting point for a 1mm thick custom made mounting bracket for the new linkage? Slightly longer screws - through the new bracket - through the existing back cover (don't remove!) - into the governor housing. You should have enough space between the oil filter housing and the IP / governor on an OM616. It shouldn't be as cramped as on the turbo OM617...
