Default LS3, Can switch it to a manual trans??

Hey I'm looking from and answer about that, I bough an LS3 engine tons project Jeep that came with an auto flex plate. The people in the adapters spacers said to me that this engine probably only works with an auto trans because was designed for auto trans and probably is VVT. The par number from GM is 19258770 from camaro 2010-2011an id number is 12621766.
Thanks for help.

"The Camaro's have two different V8 6.2L's depending if the car was automatic, or standard transmission. The automatic equipped cars got the 6.2L L99, which include variable valve timing (VVT), and displacement on demand (DOD). These engines were rated about 20 horsepower less then the LS3, and had a factory red line RPM of 6200 due to the heavier valve train components for DOD. The manual trans equipped cars got the 6.2L LS3, aprox 425 horsepower. There is NO VVT or DOD on the LS3 engine. The LS3 is factory red line at 6700 RPM."
