A manual shaft is a manual shaft on the early a's I don;t know the year your working with but if you want to change your auto column that has power steering
you will need the manual(don't care if it's manual on column or floor shift) shaft, the steering box and coupler (i would rebuild it just cause). On some models(years) you need the pitman arm for the manual box also. there might be more since I haven't mounted the column to the firewall yet. I went the other way for myself (lazy and fat tires= too much work parking/slow)
