Video of it "Running"

Good news. After replacing the vacuum line from the dizzy to the carburettor it has ran without sputtering out so far. Still a few things I'm gonna replace since the engine is quite old and needs some TLC but I could not have gotten there without all of you guys!

Injury to my left leg makes it hard to work the clutch

I have a 83 1.9DG with a manual gearbox. If I were to get an automatic gearbox from a 2.1 will that still mate up easily for a swap or will I have to do some major modifications to make it work? Are there any other challenges with doing an automatic swap as well? TIA
