Between the TWO large circular openings (Speedo and Tach or Speedo and Gauges)
there is a small rectangular/vertical opening where the Auto Trans Gear position selector sits.....Four Speed cars had this "window" covered by Black Tape (from back side)

The factory opening under the "hump" is quite large...I would estimate larger than the hacked hole in your trans tunnel, but that's subjective. Check the inside driver's subraframe rail...there are three punched holes in a triangular pattern where the back drive bracket would mount. Check these holes closely to see if they've been threaded. Only manual trans cars would have these holes threaded. Not proof-positive, but another potential indicator.

All of those holes around the shifter hole looks like the layout of the spotwelds for the factory shifter hole plate.
