Default thinkin about converting Auto to Manual

i have built my entire car from the ground up, except for the tranny. i know i can do the conversion myself, however, i dont know exactly what all parts will be necessary for the swap. i have read a couple threads about it, but none are very clear about whats needed.

any input regarding parts (clutch, wiring?, torque conv, housing, what tranny, bla bla) would be great.

much easier to just trade with a guy that wants to do a manual to auto swap or find a donor car

parts needed:

interior:

manual pedal set
clutch cable, quadrant, firewall adjuster
manual shifter bezel
shifter base insulator
shifter handle

parts:
engine seperator plate
pilot bearing
clutch kit
flywheel
flywheel bolts
pressure plate bolts (10.5 and 11in kits are different size bolts)
trans
trans fluid
trans sensors (if not with trans, manual and auto trans sensors are different)
shift fork (if not with trans)
x-member if going t56
manual trans wiring harness
driveshaft (or change to a manual yoke)

things you will have to modify:

wire harness for trans (if you use stock auto main harness)

trans tunnel
What has to be modified on the tunnel? The sheet metal and chasis are the same regarless if the car came with a auto or standard.

You also have to figure something out with your neautral/park safety switch so it will let you start the car.
