tranny swap

I have a 96 max auto. My brother in law has a 00 max 5speed he just bought and is going to replace the clutch. Now he wants to convert his 5 speed to auto and I wanna convert my auto to 5 speed. We are deciding to trade but my question is about converting 5speed to auto. Will it be just plug and play??? There are a bunch of write up for auto to 5speed swap but not the opposite that I have searched. I dont know if the wiring will be the same or not. Sorry forgot to mention that I have a 2000 motor swapped in the 96 max bought it like that. Any help would be great thanks.

Mostly people are going for more pedals, not less ))) converting to auto is a bit pointless
I didn't see anyone here doing that. Sometimes it is worth less to sell an auto car and get a manual over doing a swap. Wiring might be a trouble as autos have more fail/safe sensors and switches.

I know its pointless but he bought the car for 1200 and just need to fix clutch. He doesnt drive 5speed he bought it so he can sell it but wants to swap it to auto. His friend said if it was auto he will give him 5k for it. The car has 88k miles on it.
