Continuation of auto to 5 speed conversion for 1981 528i

In reviewing diagrams on realoem for pedals I noticed differences in 2 diagrams for the firewall support. Only one has a part # (935111117947).
Everyplace I check ECS, Bavauto say the part is not for the 528i. The support on the auto I am converting only has holes for the brake and the steering. Realoem show the same support part for both auto & manual.
Also because of the brake booster there is extremely little room for the master clutch cyl. any help would be appreciated.

I think what is going on is the manual part will work on either auto or manual, but it doesn't make any difference as it appears to be discontinued. In other words you need a used one.
