Look up a VIN in the donor engines' model year with a manual transmission. They were available on the GMT800 chassis trucks.
Then re-code the PCM with a J2534 passthrough ( I use a WiFi MDI clone ). You use that VIN with a single VIN license in the web applet at the AC Delco TDS web page. Program as a replacement PCM and it'll dutifully program your PCM with manual transmission parameters etc for that VIN.
