Ton's of people run them tubeless but being a four speed the extra stiffness probably isn't a bad idea. If you do run tubes I would be inclinded to glue or screw the tires to the rims, any movement with a tube can cause issues with the valve stem. I would try no tubes first.

I have m/t slicks on stock rims, you will need to drill out valve stem. With a 4 sp run a stiff sidewall slick and skip the tubes. M/T are notoriously for leaking air thru sidewalks, so prep them to prevent air leakage. Usually dawn soap on the inside. He is right about that, I had a pair that you could drive to the track, race, drive to dinner, and drive home on just fine. But as soon as you closed the garage door and hit the light switch it seemed they went flat.

Ok, but if I skip the tubes why would I need to drill out the VS hole with a 4 step? Stock VS should work without tubes right? In any event, I just want them to be safe, car is mostly street driven.

Unless you're gonna use rim screws to hold the tire to the rim, don't use tubes.
