94 corolla intake manual or auto

hey i had a question for anyone who can help. i just bought a cold air intake from ebay for my 94 corolla and i notice it says that the intake is only for a corolla with a manual transmission i have an automatic, they have one for an automatic but the one for the manual looks like it can induct much colder air since the filter is located farther away from the engine bay and leads to the left fender. is the engine setup in a manual considerably different from that in an automatic? help me out please if you can refer me to a site that has pics that would be great.
