I'm puting an automatic engine into a 1979 RX7 5 speed chassy. Is there anything i need to change besides the flywheel?

 

Well since you already have a counter weight get a light flywheel.

I do belive the carbs are differnet as well, different idle setting at least.

Are swapping a auto 12a??

 

Changing an auto 12a to a 5 speed 12a then putting engine in 5 speed car. For now the lite flywheel is out of the budget. Was just not sure if i had to change the front counter weight as well as the flywheel, if it's just the flywheel then I'm set although I have access to another 5 speed engine if i need the front counter weight.

 

What year is the auto engine, what year is the flywheel from? You'll of course need the clutch, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing and seal in addition to the flywheel. You will use the manual transmission starter. Most everything esle is the same, with some small differences in the rats nest.
