Not sure about your numbers though, as a 69 type3 should be 369. But it does 
sound like a 69, from what you've listed below.

Yes, but it still might be easier to find a good AT pan and swap it 
completely. The next best thing would be to get the rear "sub frame" with AT 
attached to it so that you would have all the parts including the hard to 
find AT tranny mount, and the AT only sized drive axles.If you can try to get 
the AT pedal cluster and shifter with cable too. I think you mentioned in an 
earlier thread that you could get a type3 AT with the motor still attached to 
it, if so this is a good way to go as it will give you the type3 only drive 
plate for the AT. The AT is a very durable piece, and parts are still 
available for them. I hope this helps.
