The automatic models already feature a transmission fluid cooler. It's part of the radiator, you can see two small pipes lead from the autobox to the bottom of the rad on the passenger side. It will be fine for stock boost.

You can bolt the manual box to the current engine. Removing the autobox will either require a ramp, engine out or a lot of hard graft.
