03 cls triple bypass surgery this wkend, auto->6mt swap. Have wiring ?s

As some of you may know, I purchased a wrecked cls6 not too long ago that i'm finally swapping into my 03 auto cls this wkend. I've done my homework, however had a few wiring related questions. I know I'll have to replace both the upper and lower dash harnesses, but does anyone know if I'll have to replace the left side cabin to fuse box or right side cabin to fuse box harnesses (or anything else for that matter)? I'm asking because I haven't read of anyone doing the swap to an auto 03 so i'm hoping i'll be able to get away with only switching the dash harnesses, but unsure. If anyone can chime in with what they know, it'd be appreicated. Any other tips/advice is also welcome- thanks!

Save your money on the wiring and get richies harness. I only say this if you haven't got a manual engine. If u have the full swap waiting the. Disregard.

Tips:
Use washers to space the clutch pedal bracket from the firewall, allowing full engagement.
Ground your engine well
Replace front and rear main seals. 3 dollar parts
Change your brake fluid and pads (you'll need em)
DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC REAR MOUNT
