According to Lars's paper, it should be the following...

17056(A)(B)(Even)

A=2 for standard emissions, or 5 for CA or high elevation
B=0,1, or 2 for Chevy
Even=Even numbers are for auto, odds for manual

The auto trans carbs typically have a vacuum port nipple for the tranny modulator, and the throttle arm is often different to accommodate kickdown linkage (TH350). On some of the early Q-Jets, the manual tranny carbs were jetted just a touch richer, but after 1973-or-so the MT and AT carbs are jetted the same.

Any harm in puting an auto carb on a manual car? Would you just have to plug that nipple?
