im getting ready to install a LS engine and tremec 5 speed in my car. i am planning to rebuild the rear suspension at the same time Any opinions about changing the suspension parts to manual since my car is currently an automatic
As far as I know all of the suspension parts are the same whether they're for an automatic or a manual transmission. Let us know how your LS swap goes and take a LOT of pictures.

It was my understanding that the ujoints were smaller on the autos
Yes, stub axles, u-joints, half shafts and spindle flanges are different on a '80. I would recommend you go with the manual tranny setup (1350 u-joints).
