Default d15b7 swap auto to man trans.

Is there anything that needs to be changed when installing an engine that used to have an automatic tranny, into a car that has a manual ? Apart from the obvious, clutch etc. The only thing I can see is a blue 3 prong connector on the front of the engine, below the exhaust manifold, that on the older engine had a bolt and washer in the same place. Also the older engine had a map sensor with the applicable wiring harness, and the newer engine had no sensor . I changed the air intake housing from old engine to new to allow the sensor to be connected. I would appreciate any advice.

Not for that particular engine or most D and B-series engines for that matter.

Thats a block heater, they were optional equipement, they're nice to have if you happen to live in a cold climate.

'92 - '93 D15B7s used a firwall mounted MAP sensor, '94 - '95 models used a throttlebody mounted MAP sensor, retain your original throttlebody and wiring harness and you will not have any issues.
