The 93 and 97 flywheel are the same. I don't know if the CKP is the same, so you need to check the parts numbers, but you want to use what is for the 97.
No difference in CKP for auto/manual, just use your 97.

The flywheel and CKP are the same.
Note, however, that the hydraulics are different. This can be addressed most easily by swapping the 1997 bellhousing, associated parts, and front bearing retainer onto the 1993 gearbox. Otherwise, you'll be going from the "external" slave to the "internal" (1993 was, I believe, the last year for that atrocimacy,) and I've long thought that was a huge step backwards.
It wasn't a good idea when Mazda did it, it wasn't a good idea when Ford copied it, and the story has not improved with retelling!

It appears he is converting the 97 from AW4.
