swap 6 speed for 5 speed - possible?

Subject says it all. I've got a 2003 ARC sedan (wreck) with the 6-speed stick and a 5-speed (2004) that needs a clutch. Since I have to get the transmission out of the 5 speed to access the clutch/pressure plate, the thought came across... Can I swap the 6-speed in the place of the 5-speed? I would guess this is not as difficult as a 900-auto-to-5-speed-conversion, as I have a clutch, shift assembly, etc.
I would also guess that the speedo would need to know that the 6 speed exists, and possibly some computer interfaces to address. Maybe CV shafts would need to swap as well.
Is this a (relatively) straightforward swap? It is probably not cost effective to have a shop do this, but my labor rate as a shadetree mechanic is a lot lower...this would be for the challenge.
Thanks!
