All you will have to do is get the right pilot bushing for the auto crank to use the manual trans... or remove the bushing to put auto where a manual was.

Well, the engine came out with no real issues. Other than the drivers side of the cross member was rusted out. About 3 inches all the way across, gone. Other rust issues too. Getting it on trailer by myself was a task. The drivers front was pulling itself away from the rest of the car. Tearing itself apart. Off the trailer, had to use wood blocks just to get the car to sit somewhat level. Back on the trailer, even worse. So there it still sits, on the trailer. Still has alot of good parts on it. Tilt steering. Auto transmission. Disc brakes. Door panels. Remote door mirrors, etc. To be honest, I'm just too lazy to do it. Its worth it tho. Taking stuff off parts car let's me know how it all works. Then know what to do to be careful on the car being fixed.
