Can I use the drive shaft from an automatic 4th gen on a manual 4th gen (specifically a 1995 2.2 VTEC) ?

You can on the off side.

Typical. The autos have no intermediate shaft like the manuals,, so it's super long in comparison to the manual. The cv joints would all mate up,, so if you've a broken manual cv joint they can be swapped between shafts.

I had prpblems doing exactly this on a 5G, the shafts where ever so slightly different lengths requiring a spacing washer to actually preload the bearing. Would avoid....
