First thing you need to check is whether or not
you have a clutch cable tube already welded to the inside
of the center tunnel. For 1969 Auto-stick, maybe not.
A tube could be added if needed, but that raises the difficulty
of the conversion a notch or two.

And welcome to the Ghia Forum.

wow, I am glad to have found you guys!! Hello from Canada's West Coast.

Just purchased a '69 Ghia autostick. While it is kinda fun and will stay autostick for a while, I want to convert to manual eventually.

I suppose that a completely new 1600 dual port and tranny swap is my best option?

How difficult will this be?

I guess i'll keep the original engine and trans for it's historical/original value.

thanks
