The cars are the same for engine swap, this I know for sure,, I'm not sure if the manual trans will work without changing drive shaft or tranny mounts

You have to use the manual driveshaft, don't worry about switching the wiring harness, it is not that difficult to redo what is already there to make it work like a factory manual car.

carry over the driveshaft and the rear diff to match the final drive ratio
