The differences will be minimal... to the point that you probably won't notice.
(same way you probably wouldn't notice the difference between A9L vs A9P)

I can look a little closer when I get home today...

A9S is the CA (emissions strict) for manual transmissions program code.... and nope, the SD ECM performance chip will not be compatible with any Mass Air ECM.

If the only way to change its programming is by having it "re-flashed" (no way to access system parameters via a laptop)....... it's a chip "encased" in a PWB substrate to connect to the ECM via the test port. Internal logic is different between ECM types.
