The standard engine will come with a standard flywheel, which you will need 
to replace with the AT drive plate from your old engine. You will also have to 
reuse the intake air distributor from your old engine as it has a vacuum port 
that the MT engine lacks. If the new engine came from a different year, you 
might also want to reuse your 71 AT distributor and FI parts, just to keep a 
consistent set of parts.

If the new engine is a 72-3 you should change the breather and oil filler pipe 
to the 71 style, too.
