One way to check is to look both engines (block, crank, etc) up on realoem and see if the part numbers match. i know people do auto to manual conversions - perhaps search those threads for ideas, too.

Different wiring harness....the 2005+ model year refresh cars had extra sensors, and a computer change to match...
Not saying you cannot do it, just know you have extra work to get it working...
