I did the swap, too, with my '87 Pulsar. The car was free and had a bad auto tranny; In the meantime, I had a 5-speed in the garage. Off to Pull-A-Part for the clutch linkage and and shift linkage. Both went in effortlessly. Also needed was the rear engine/tranny mount and the left-side tranny mount; The auto tranny mount will disalign the new setup.

I bypassed the solenoid wire at the inhibitor relay directly between the switch and the solenoid; The A/T neutral switch wired to the neutral switch at the bottom of the manual tranny, I rewired the reverse lights and that did it. It's harder than it sounds, but it's not as impossible as it seems and very rewarding. If you're thinking about the swap, do it! Good luck...
