It might fit; I'm really not sure. There would be a lot of parts to 
change and a few changes to fabricate. At the very least you would 
need the following parts in addition to the AT itself:

type 3 AT drive plate (must readjust end play)
type 3 AT shift lever and cable
type 3 AT drive shafts (L & R are different!)

It's not clear to me how this is really any easier to drive than the 
type 1 Auto Stick Shift, however.
