There should be no major problems swaping in a 5 speed.
The crank is the same, so the pilot bearing and flywheel will bolt right up :thumbs:
The ecu will need to be changed to a manual brain.
The starter wire will need to be jumped when the netural saftey switch is removed will the auto trans.
This means you will not have the factory equipped manual clutch safety switch. (Your runner would start without the clutch pushed in.)

The firewall will need to be hole sawed to accept the manual pedal/clutch master cyl assm.

No difference in emission control compontents :biggthumpup:

Center consol is completely difference, and I recall the auto style even attaches to the bottom of the dash.
The 5 speed version requires a boot for the t/case lever.

This conversion will take time, but is can be done:thumbs:
