Swap the intake manifolds and TB's as well, the IACV (or EACV, same thing) is built into the TB on autos and is only a 2 wire instead of a 3 wire manual *Which is located on the side of the IM as you said*, it will run like CRAP if you try to run the manual one and will throw a CEL

as far as IM gasket:
Autozone sells them, Napa sells them, Carquest sells them etc etc
 
yeah thanks, i called napa and they had one so i swap them and got it running with no codes. last time i built a motor i dont think they were that widely availible i always get everything from honda.
