The wiring harness is different, auto to manual (AX-15) as is the PCM (the engine computer). On an automatic transmission the PCM controls some functions, like the torque converter lockup. You'll need a new PCM for the AX-15 or will get codes. It should still run though.
The only connection on the AX-15 should be for the backup lamp switch.
You can modify the harness to work with it. If the wire colors didn't change (don't have a manual for a '98), the brown with light green striped wire should be the feed for the backup switch, the violet with black stripe is the output to the backup lights.
The black with white stripe wire is the neutral safety switch. To bypass it just connect it to ground.

You'll still need to change the PCM. You'll have trouble codes if you don't because it will be looking for inputs from the automatic that you no longer have.
The only connections for the manual are the backup lamp, the two wires. You'll have to ground the neutral safety lead just to bypass it so you can start the truck - that should be it.
