Default Parking Brake Setup - Auto vs Manual

On my 72 GTO looking at getting some parking brake cables, notice a few sites have stainless options which I’m interested in.

I did notice that there is a listing for a TH400 or manual cars. What’s exactly the difference?

Car was originally a th400 car and am slowly piecing together the items to 4speed swap it.

Thanks - so it’s just the cross member position then, is there anything else that really changes? Just making sure I’m not missing anything

The hooks are different, and the intermediate cable may also be.

There were four or five different lengths of intermediate cables. Primarily depending on transmission type (Crossmember location) and wheelbase (68-72).
