Use the removeable crossmember. The guys who do the std -> auto conversion usually have to either cut their crossmember and fabricate plates to bolt it on or make a whole new crossmember. The auto -> std conversion is by far the easier to do. Depending on the transmission you use you may have to play with the tranny mount but generally it's not a big problem.
I'm planning to do the same thing with my 79, only using a 6-speed if I can find one for the right price.
