I have never done this conversion so keep in mind this is probably not a complete/accurate list.
Converting from a automatic to a manual is quite a project. You will need the entire clutch peddel/cylinder assembely. The metal lines that run from the clutch cyl to the slave cyl. You may need the flywheel (I am not sure on this one). And of course the tranny and clutch.
I think there are some fittings on the throttle body/intake chamber that will have to be pluged up (Once again I am not sure)
I am not sure if the drive shaft is the same length so you should check.
Overall I think installing the clutch peddel assembly will be the most time consuming part. And you will have to rip most of these parts out of a donor car.
Expect to pay a pretty penny. If you get a donor clutch master cyl then dont expect it to last for long. You will need new rubber clutch lines. You should probably get a new clutch. And all of the fluids.
I would gestimate in the range of $300-500USD, depending on where you get the parts and what you get new.
Hope this helps,
Steve
