Default auto to manual swap helppp!!

HI there as some of you know i'm doing a swap on my 2000 Mustang GT, and already got all the parts some of you guys mentioned, just one question, am I gonna have problems with the key? by not turning on or not letting me pull it out? do i need the manual steering column?

Thanks

I was worried about that as well, but I had no issues using my auto column.

The steering column on the manual has the button right above the key. Autos dont have this. Im not an expert, but i dont see why it would make a difference. But i dont really dont know, i mean there is a reason why ford did that on the manuals and not the autos, maybe it does matter. I know this didnt really help just wanted to put my 2 cents in.

There should be no problem. That button is only used as a 'preventive' lock prior to taking out the key.
