Also, 4-speed cars had a welded in trans crossmember while the auto's were bolt in. That could tell you if original 4-speed (unless frame has been replaced).

If the engine is original, the engine code suffix stamped on the block will tell you whether the engine was assembled for auto or manual transmission.
Clean off the pad and jot down the numbers.
