Default Questions on tranny swap At to 6sp HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!

Hi guys im going to get some cash now and I was thinking on doing a swap to manual I like my AT but I cant even build my motor because it would be worthless since I wont be able to push the power. I was going to do this about a couple of months ago but the offer on an item i wanted appeared and i used the money on that.

I know it can be done I know what I need my question is

If I leave the ECU that came from factory (AT) instead of switching it to a manuals ECU will the ECU start to act weird when not sensing the AT wiring or will it just throw codes.

Please I need help here

TH-350 or TH-400 Both 3 speed autos. Maybe you could use a built 4L60e, its a 4 speed and would hold the power.

i Think thats the better idea...
possibly trade in your z for a manual. or just sell it privately.
