Speedometer drive & transmission questions

Ok heres the situation

1987 Manual Car parts car

1986 Automatic car

If anyone has been paying attention, or taken a casual interest they know im doing an automatic -> manual swap.

I was Familiarizing my self with the process of the transmission removals and installations and i noticed something. In the removal/installation process in the manual i have says for the manual car, i need to "pull off plug on speedometer drive" Now this is obviously how the car determines how fast its going.

The problems is, on the instructions for the automatic car, it doesnt say anything about this cable. I know that on the pre-85.5 they took the speed from the wheels or there abouts, but is this the case for the automatic cars of all ages?

I guess that brings about another question. If the speed is infact taken from the wheels then, what do i do? Will there be any problems if i continue to run the wheel speed sensor, and dont connect the sensor on the trans?

Thanks for the info
