I've got an Si myself. The only option on that car is the color
and whether you want summer tires or all-weather tires. If you don't want a manual, pick a different car.
I did find it interesting when I was shopping for the Si back in 2020 that if you go to the Honda website, they list a manual transmission as standard on all Civics, with an automatic being an option on the non-Si or R models. But best I could tell, there was not a Honda Civic with a manual transmission anywhere within 250 miles.
Manuals are definitely dying out. But there are some kinds of cars that really should have them, regardless of whether an automatic is technically superior or not. And a 911 is one of those cars.
If you can't drive a manual and don't want to learn, that isn't the kind of car you should be shopping for.

I’m most interested in the air-cooled models (97 and some 98 models)

Nice looking car, but too many miles. I had a 2002 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

The 356s look like a "squashed" Beetle.
