If you talking about the 05 you have listed.

Yes it will run but you will have codes for the auto trans because the 3 speed is not electronically controlled

what is your reason for doing this?

im not sure if it would go into limp mode or not, you could always get a manual PCM.

If this is a street car its going to suck to loose overdrive.

22 page thread on .org about 4speed atx performance. It's fucking terrible for N/A, but decent for boost. A 5-speed swap would be the best bet for your car, unless you plan on doing a 12.5:1 motor on MS with a trans brake, and a 3500 stall convertor. The 3 speed will literally be slower in the car than the 4-speed stock for stock.
