Park/lock control cable help

Ok this is the situation I'm swapping from a manual transmission to a automatic and I need help with the park/lock control cable that goes from the auto shifter assembly to the steering column on a automatic. My question is how would I run the cable on a car that was a manual car. Would I have to swap steering columns or run a aftermarket cable? If anyone has done this before I would greatly appreciate any help.

I'm doing the same swap, With the manual column the lock cable isn't needed. Just throw it to the side and move on......

Even with the Megashifter I installed last year the instructions had you fix that cable in a permanent spot and leave it disconnected. Be mindful that you can start the car in any gear after that :O

Is that not a neutral safety switch on the side of the factory auto shifter you can run the clutch pedal switch wires too ?
