Speedometer After Tranny Swap

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to do my automatic to manual swap. I think I have everything I need now. The only thing I'm unsure about is if this will affect my speedometer in anyway. The transmission is from an '85 v6 bird, and I'm dropping it into a '91 v6 bird. To my knowledge the speedometer is cable driven on an '85, and electronically controlled on the '91. When I drop in the manual am I still going to be able to keep my electronic sending, or will I need to downgrade to cable? If it's possible I want to retain the electronic speedo because I've got a 4th gen dash I'm going to install and I don't want to spend the extra money on a dakota box.

Thanks!
