I will most likely be doing a frame swap. I am wondering what frame year(s) will I be able to use other than '73? I know some have been able to use a standard beetle frame with some modifications, but I don't think I am willing to do that.

No bites?

you could use any SB pan for the car. To use a standard pan would not make sense as the entire frame head is different. You would be better off to replace your frame head and floor pans.

There isn't any difference between a manual trans and automatic trans chassis, correct?

I think from '71 or '72 on all pans had the clutch tube whether it ended up an AS or manual...so yeah, they should be the same.
