the hole is in the same spot, as far as I know... I'm going to find out here real shortly as I am doing the auto to manual swap as well.
You do owever need the manualt transmission crossmember. You will also need the driveline for the manual tranny.

All the trannys are the same legnth unless the automatic tranny has over drive. If it has O/D, then you need the 5sd driveshaft.

It's not a hard swap at all. The auto's just have a spacer where the clutch would hang. Just grab as much as you can from under the dash from the doner car. You'll need the switch so the car will not start unless the clutch is in. I didn't hook it up, but needed it for a stopper.
The reverse lights will work with no mods. The shifter holes line up.
I'm pretty sure you'll need a front counterweight also. I'm not 100% positive as I did an engine swap at the same time.
Use the auto cross member with an extention welded onto it (the manual is 4" shorter). I waaay overbuilt mine. BTW, it's for sale along with my 5-speed trans if you need it.
