Searched and could not find it. I've know there is supposedly a difference between the two for a while now,and never cared enough to look it up, but what exactly is it?

Auto vs Manual Radiator.

I don't know this first hand, but got this from the mechanic that is doing my swap....I was looking through the ETK trying to be thorough on the swap - I noticed that the radiators were different too - he said that there is a radiator cooler for the automatic built into the radiator that is not used or needed on the 5 speed. He said it was only a problem if you were going the other way (5 speed to manual).
BTW, the throttle body is different, and an exhaust hanger is different - that is it for the non obvious stuff - and none of that is of any concern to the swap....
Hope this helps - I also hope this is not spreading incorrect info....

Not sure about the AL or AN reference on the auto, but there is a potential difference here.
BTW, this is directly from BMW's ETK -
