CAT II app -737

Are you authorised to do a manually flown CAT II app on the 737 ?
I'm asking you cause I was surprised to learn that we are not authorised to perform a manually flown CAT II app on the 737.
The AFM for the NG says that we can do a dual chanel app with manual landing,but our SOP it's more restrictive:only autoland !
So,with all the FDs,GPS,etc ,if an autopilot fails for some reason you won't be able to do a FD manual CAT II app?
Why? What is your practice regarding this?
On other,older planes I flew, we used to do manual cat II app,no problem.
