If the flange will not take the needle bearing that is required for
manual transmission, then you will have to swap-out the auto crank
from your manual engine. Its is supposed to be easy, you will have to
remove the oil pan. Besure to sure to use new bearings for the crank
and clean the oil-pick screen and pan before putting it back. How
does the cylinder head look after the timing belt broke? I might be
interested if it is rebuildable. Let me know and good luck.

The cylinder head doesn't look too good. One seat has damage. I can

You will have to exchange cranks. I am going through the same process.

Finding a manual AWM crank is very difficult/expensive. I think I paid
$400-450 for a used crank.
Good luck.
