Curious:
A bolt-in crossmember is desirable. So it may seem that I WANT an auto frame? Does the 4-speed otherwise just bolt in to an auto frame?
To that end, does the auto frame still have the Z-Bar mount? Or is that deleted from the auto frame?
If I get a manual frame, I'm going to modify it to make the cross-member removeable. Too much of a pain to pull the engine to access my transmission.

Though I'd say the hardest part is reinstalling the shifter. Did this last fall, 3 hours of cursing, used every curse I knew.
