Default Will an automatic engine work?

I just got a 94 d16z6 engine from a friend and want to put it into my 89 lx, however the 94 comes from an automatic, and the 89 is a 5 spd. I know that the d16z6 will bolt right in and work with an 89 tranny and i was told that all i need for it to work is my 5spd clutch, pressure p, and flywheel. I need to know if there is anything needed to be done to make this possible!!! Help i need some serious clarification fast here!!!

Im pretty sure the MOTOR has absolutely nothing to do with the whole automatic or manual -- its all in the tranny... so if you are just swapping on a manual tranny it shouldnt be a big deal.

you will probably have an extra vacuum hose on the intake manifold as well. Not a big deal though, just cap it off.

you will also need the manual transmission flywheel bolts as they are longer then the automatic ones.

more than likely the cams are auto cams meaning less torque for you. try and call honda and check for different part #'s on the auto and manual cams.
