ok to swap auto manual is it better to just get a manul donor and swap eveything out? cause i read a article on one and it says you need to make custom plate for some reason . is there anohter way of doing it off a manual car? thanks

The transmission mount is farther back on the auto. If you replace the auto with a manual, you'll need to fabricate a new trans mount, or weld ears in the correct position on the frame for the manual trans. Mosy just construct a makeship mount.
