The engine blocks are different. You will have to grind away some material at the bottom of the mating plane on the MT engine so you can gain access to the torque converter bolts. When you take the AT engine out you will be able to see the difference. You should own the following manual: Volkswagen Official Service Manual Type 3 Fastback and Squareback 1968-1973 published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1974 ISBN 0-8376-0057-X / LPV 997 383 / VSQU (excellent book, complete and well written) You will have many questions when the time comes, and this book will have most of the answers.
