Are the housings the same on all 67-69 A-body consoles, or is the 4 speed different? Can you just replace the top plate on an auto console with a 4 speed one and bolt it in the car?

The auto console body can be cut to work with the 4-speed.

It is difficult to get it right. There is a cardboard cover that has the carpet glued to it and a special clip that holds it on. There was someone on eBay that was selling a fiberglass reproduction of the cover at one time and still may be selling it. I have several consoles and can take pictures if you like.

The 66 four speed console didn't have the big cutout like the 67-69. I don't really think it was necessary.

if i have time this weekend I'll send you a few pics

What function does the cutout serve? Does it allow the shifter to clear or something?

Yes, the shifter is too far to the left and the handles have a 3-1/2" rod that spaces the handle to the right.
