This thread has been an interesting learning experience for me. Itsnotanova's post about the bolt heads used in certain engines caused me to check my engines serial number. Sure enough, it has AT in it. The car is a '99 base with 65000 on it. I am the fourth owner. I checked Carfax during the purchase and it didn't show an engine change. Since I haven't found any stray particles in the oil or filter, I'll just drive it and see if anything changes.
This site is absolutely the best for a first time Porsche owner. Thanks to everyone that has contributed to it.
