I swapped out a 2.2 for a 2.0, and just used the plate that came with the 2.2l engine. No problems. Mine was an automatic trans, but even that didn't make any difference as when I restomodded the truck with a 302 Ford engine I sold the 2.0l engine to a guy that had a 2.2l truck.
The owner of that truck paid me to swap out the engines, and again, I just used his engine plate for the factory 5 speed in the truck. Again, no problems.
