Swapping 1964 plymouth Vailant from automatic to 4 speed

@cudamark
Here's a question that may help both the OP and myself, as I'm swapping my 65 Barracuda to a 4 speed. If an Early A came with an automatic, does it have a hole for a clutch rod already there like the later A bodies? All the later ones came with the hole, which has a plastic plug in it if the car has an automatic. My Barracuda's engine bay is still greasy and grimy, and I haven't noticed a plugged hole for the clutch rod.....but it may be under the muck.
