DON'T DO IT. Although an auto chip will still run on a manual car, it will be way less than optimal. The spark tables are significantly different auto to manual (there is a lot of timing pulled out at high load/low rpm in manual bins so you can launch without the car jerking forward) and the throttle follower IAC routines are also very different. Your car will drive worse with a "performance" automatic chip than a stock 5 spd chip. Save your time and money until you are going to do it right.
