Default Center Console Compatibility

In the process of swapping a T56 car over to auto.

Curious as to if the shifter area trim from the stick car car just be swapped out for an automatic shifter trim area? I searched but i couldnt really find what i was looking for. It looks like i should be able to, but id rather make sure.


So can i swap this...



in favor of this

Was debating that, and actually planned on doing so but running an aftermarket shifter. But decided the money i would spend on a shifter would be better applied to something else on the car(since it doesnt even have an engine at the moment)
