I also think the steering shaft from the rag joint is longer on the manual. I've got both boxes in my garage.

Up Your Shaft
Most any sixties or seventies manual box will do. Just get the manual steer Pitman arm for your particular car (F-body).
For the shaft, the way I did it, you'll need a chop saw, tape measure, a piece of metal tubing that will fit like a sleeve over the shaft, and a welder (man and machine).
Cut the shaft, use the tube as a sleeve to extend it the needed amount, weld it up and reistall it.
I'll try to wedge my camera into my Volare and post up a picture.
