as long as you change out the flywheel and check over for some other things that may be specific to the auto tranny....an engine set up for an auto tranny is not too hard to switch for use with a manual tranny
Its easyer to use a auto motor with a 5 speed car than it is to use a 5 speed motor with a auto car.
But like he said above, the fly wheel need to be swapped out, and the Auto throttle body uses the kick down cable. Plus the Auto´s might have more sensor´s but I´m not sure on that one.
So i might as well just look for the manual huh?? Might be easier in the long run. Thanks for the input.
I really doubt that it would make that much difference if you are putting the motor in a car with a manual...as far as the kickdown cable all it really has on the motor is an extra part on the throttle body that you would not use....really any sensors that you would not use for the manual you would not have hook ups for...as for the flywheel and clutch for the swap you are doing you would need to use the 1.9 items anyway
Ya, is the 90 GT throttle bigger than the 97? If it i am going to put that one in instead of the stock.

The 90 GT TB is 50mm.
91-96 is 40mm.
97-up is 45mm.
(I think)

If that´s true then thanks for telling that because I´m lookin into seeing if I can get the 93 TB bored out to 50mm.
