5.3L Auto to Manual swap advice

[Sandman614]

Best way to swap from 5.3L auto to manual is start with a 4.8L or 6.0L manual file of the same year then tune the engine part of the calibration for a 5.3L. There are many differences in the engine cal that originates as an auto vs a manual that you just don't get deleting the auto trans stuff in the transmission segments.

Could you elaborate further? I've seen "the copy/paste marathon" mentioned many times but don't see what parameters I should be looking for. I'm sure there are 4.8L and 6.0L engine parameters that should be changed. Are the manual parameter names specific to each OS? Or just their memory location in the code? What other parameters don't do anything like changing the transmission type?
