The trans/bell housing/tcase are fine, but you will most likely have to re position the cross member. Might even need to compare an AT cross member to the MT cross member?
Different drive shaft lengths. The pedals, I would get out of a 67-72 MT truck. Check for a Z bar bracket on the frame, and check for a provision in the engine block for a pivot ball stud just above the oil filter. Finally, I have seen AT trucks that the engine crank did not have a hole for a pilot bearing. So beware.
