You are so right to suggest ditching it. But I only want to tackle 1 fab job at a time. I have a AX-15 in my 92 Wrangler, which may be upgraded at some point to a dodge 6sp in the NV series. First, I want to get the engine in place under the hood. And come up with a plan for how to secure the tranny. After which the tranny upgrade to the AX-15 will be much simpler (hopefully) as I will have minor mounting changes and determining if I need to open up the trans tunnel.
