Actually, to do it right, the answer is no. (at least not for '68-9). The automatic consoles have a rectangular cut out for the automatic top plate. It is centered in the console. A true manual console has an ovalish cut out with a fitted recessed cover. And the opening is not centered on the console. If you look around Epay, you will likely see the difference. This is why real manual consoles are so much more expensive than manual ones. And there are a lot less of them out there.
