Tunnels are the same size as far as i know.
The rest is pretty much as you said, connect the neutral start switch to the gearbox wires, plug in the reverse light.

Other things to note (pretty obvious);

Auto brake pedal is needed

The shifter hole for the T shifter is further back than the hole that the manual shifters have - there could be slight issues mounting this without the threads in the chasis to screw it into. But a bit of clever thinking would solve the problem.

You'd need to remove the spigot bearing from the crank.

The auto tailshafts are different

The autos sometimes had different radiators which had an oil cooler built into them - either get an auto radiator or get a small oil cooler and mount it somewhere up the front, connect the lines from the gearbox

You need the auto flexplate (flywheel)

That's all I can really think of just now.. I think it's all.
