518 / 46RE questions

I just bought a 46RE. Was supposed to be an RH but it I bought it anyway. I've been doing some interwebbing and what makes sense one minute, seems confusing the next.

From what I've gleaned, the RE is different than the RH in that there are no governors or hydraulics in the OD unit. Correct?

So if I were to go with a full manual valve body (which I would prefer anyway), all that would be needed is a way to control the OD and lockup if my thinking is correct. I know of the Hobbs switch method of controlling the RH, but is it possible to do the same with the RE to control the OD and lockup at that point?
