[T3] automatic to manual?

["John E. Jordan" <jjmonkeyman@hotmail.com>]

I am recently entered the world of the Type 3’s. I own two, a wrecked 73 FB 
and a sweet 71 SB. Having owned a 69 bus for about four years that's been 
used for two of these years as a daily driver, I’m familiar with the ole 
upright motor. But this pancake motor and these FI systems are an enigma to 
me as of now, but I hope that will soon change.
My first question for y'all is about switching from an automatic tranny to 
the manual one.  My squareback is the car that I am trying to restore, but I 
don't want anything to do whit its automatic tranny.  This is mainly b/c I 
have a motor and tranny with 67,000 original miles on them from the wrecked 
fastback, and would like to put the relatively new combo in my good ride.  
It seems logical that a switch can be made as VW seemed to just stamp out 
cars -- there seems to be little variation between models of the same line.
So there it is, it may be a silly question but I want to have some idea of 
the feasibility before I set the engines in the yard. Oh, and the SB has a 
blown motor and must be replace b/c I can't even spin the motor so I'm 
pulling that engine anyway.
