In automatics they are reffered to as a flexplate not a flywheel and are usually much thinner and light weight as well as lighter duty than a flywheel.

Correct, auto's use a flex plate, which can not be used with a clutch. All 1990-2001 b series flywheels are the same with the exception of the Type R model which is a couple lbs lighter
