Auto to manual conversion

I love that MT console. Is the shifter different or just the stick/lever when using a console? I know on my old Nova you actually needed a different shifter or change the receiver to achieve the more centered offset with a console, but it appears there is only one shifter option for the A body?

For 67 to 69, (which is all I know about), there were several options; as to sticks: one for consoles/one for no consoles; and then there's the Inland/Hurst option, each with it's own actual shift mechanism. And then there was the Aftermarket suppliers.
My favorite was the Mr.Gasket Bang! shifter. I still have mine circa 1971. It's a short straight stiff I-beam with 1/2-13 threads at the top. The adapter plate raises the mechanism, and the less convoluted rods are/were a lil bigger than the stock spaghetti-sticks . I moved mine back about 7 or 8 inches, then towards my leg, and finally,raised it up as high as it would go. And then fabricated some beefy rods. Since then, I have never missed a shift.
