Don't forget the center driveshaft support bracket on the passenger side of the engine block. The one you have in your auto is marked "A" while the one for the 5 spd is marked "M". One holds the driveshaft at a slightyly different distance from engine. You can install the 5 spd with the auto bracket still in place..don't ask me how I know. BUt the shaft will be in a bind and would ruin some bearings in short order. Other than that you probably need a donor car or a good cheap junkyard. You need flywheel, clutch, clutch pedal and master cylinder, clutch line, driver side driveshaft (different lengths), and of course the shifter and rod. THen you need to short the two wires used on the auto shifter that keeps you from starting engine unless in park. I also believe there is a plug that connects to the 5spd tranny. It's coiled up and not used on autos. If I were you I'd install a new clutch, clutch slave cylinder, and clutch line while you're at it. It sounds like alot but you can do it in two weekends. One for tearing apart the donor car and another for installing.
