You have to swap the wiring harness and all the sensors too. The atx has a separate controller box that connects to the ECU through another socket - you wont have that connector in your manual car. You will have to leave that unconnected - and i dont know if the dash sockets will match - if not you will have to splice them. The ECU will always put up a code for VSS since the sohc tranny has a mechanical sensor.

.. i was thinking about upgrade the ecu from the 93 and tell them to upgrade it to a 95 platform (reprogram it to run the 95 motor) and swop the sensors from the 93 to the 95 motor ..... do you think that could work
p.s. the 93 i was keeping the trans in (manual) and just swoping the motor to it would i still need the controller box still
im not going to use the auto trans but the man trans
1.6L
recap 95 motor on a 93 trans

Your best bet would be to use a manual wiring harness and ECU from the year engine you are putting in.
