Auto's suck... I regretted buying an auto almost immediately... especially after it cost $1200 to fix. Unfortunatly you can't get a 350 with a 5 speed... some bs about emissions.
For the fun alone I would buy a 5 speed. You can also get away with a smaller gear in a 5 speed.

1986 Trans Am
carbed 350 - .30 over with 9.75:1 comp.
+- 315hp/390ft lbs.
700-R4 with 2500 stall
3.27 (ick!) gear
SLP 1 3/4" headers w/MAC catback and cat.
96 5 stars
SFC's, braces, arms, and a bunch more expensive stuff

the t-5 5-speed that comes in a camaro or firebird is not as strong as the 700r4 automatic, but sleeper is right, you'll regret an auto and have much more fun with the stick.
