Transmisson options

In my Ciera's model year of 91, it came with either the three speed auto or the 4 speed auto with overdrive. From what I understand, there was a Cutlass Ciera A body that came with a manual trans as well.
This could have been in the limited editions like the XC coupes, and possibly the pontiac 6000 would have shared this trans too, concidering at one time they made a special edition that was competition for some higher end sedans.
My question is, aside from my 4 speed OD auto, what options in the way of a manual trans do I have. I'd even like to know if possible, what the gear ratios were like comparing the auto to the manual... that might be asking a little much though...
I'd be curious as to what models might be able to mate to this 3300 engine. Some logistical things come to mind right away, like the main exhaust down pipe might be in the way... so how would the engineers have routed the shift mech or exhaust tube...
I suppose we will see how many Olds guru's we actually have here. If you can believe it, there is actually a dedicated A-body forum. True there is roughly only 200 members, but it isn't working to well right now, otherwise i would have asked there.... thanks
