Default eg8 b7 to y8 intake manifold swap

I have a 93 eg8 5 speed with a y7/y8 mini me ODB1... i am currently using the b7 intake manifold, but I want to use a y8 manifold. I searched, but found threads with y7/y8 manifold swaps but not much on b7/y8.
Biggest issue is I read is that the throttle cable bracket is in a different place, so to make it work you have to modify it to fit... I couldnt find a picture, or someone who actually stated how they did it...
Is there someone who has modded the throttle cable that can tell me how they did it?
antoher issue I saw was that the y8 fuel rail has the FPR on the opposite side... I know I already have to use my ODB1 injectors, but can I just swap the fuel rails between the 2, or do I have to swap injectors? and if I swap injectors, what mods do I have to do to the y8 FPR to get it to work?
any info will be appreciated
please keep your negative/usless comments off my thread

I thought the solution was to use a manifold from an automatic?

The FPR sill returns fuel on the same side as where your z6 does, it has a metal line along it to the rail.

I would use y8 mani, y8 fuel rail, z6 inj, and modify the t cable to work

not sure if the auto mani has the thorttle bracket in a different place from the manual mani... but that is my main issue... but then I would have to tap the back for the iacv also if i used a auto one

not sure what line it is, but would the fuel line with the banjo fitting on the FPR, be long enough to connect wherever it connects to in the engine bay( since its on the opposite side on the y8 mani), and same thing for the line that comes out of the bottom of the FPR... is it too short? this is why i am asking if I should just use my b7 rail/ injectors( so I wont have to worry if the lines of the y8 one will reach)
