'65 dart/ four speed driveshaft same as automatic?

I have a dumb question. On my '65, I don't see a place on the firewall where the pedal to z bar rod goes through. On my '72 I had there was a body plug over a hole for the rod. Am I going to need a different lower column mounting panel like this? http://www.dartbodies.com/products/1965-Dodge-Dart-Lower-Column-Mounting-Panel.html
