Replacing the flex disk with a clutch unit may, on second thought, not be practical. This will depend on wither the end of the drive shaft will sit at the right location. There is a snap ring on it's end between the flex disk and the flywheel unit. This locates and restrains the drive shaft from pushing the torque converter into the transmission. The input shaft on the manual trans possitions the drive shaft.
Interesting that there is a pilot bearing in the end of the automatics engines crank. Never really been used as the crank and the drive shaft turn as one.
The only difference in the same year engines is one has a heavy flywheel while the other (automatic) has a fairly light weight unit.
There is a difference as to replacing the flex disk. You have to unbolt the flex disk from the flywheel and pull the engine leaving the bell housing, flex disk and drive shaft torque tube in the car. This is to get to the clip.
