Quick answer: Yes.

Go to the thirdgen.org homepage. On the left are various links, one to tech articles. In that link are a couple of articles about VATS. You need to bypass VATS.

You also need to change the neutral safety switch on the auto shifter to a clutch safety switch on the pedal.

Re: need help tbi to carb

You should only need to bypass the starter relay under the driver kick panel for the VATS. It might work without bypassing but I am not that familiar with it to know.
If wired properly it will then start and run with the exception of the neutral safety switch wiring. In the T56 swap sticky there is good pics etc showing how to deal with the auto to manual wiring.
