Thumbs up

If its 95 or older just leave the auto transmission wires disconnected, jumper the neutral safety switch, run new wires to your new reverse switch on the shifter. The magnet for the throttle position sensor can be removed from the ring gear, drilled and epoxied into the manual's flywheel at the appropiate location. Best is to buy the whole car the manaul is coming out of so that you get all the bits anda trinkets that you need. The trans exhaust bracket is different, as is the wood console. Enjoy the swap, it makes it a different car.
