Default Auto to Manual Swap

I have tried to search for this. But does anyone have a detailed list of what is needed to go from an auto to manual trans. Heres what I know so far I need in parts: Trans., diff., torque tube, pedal assembly, shifter, harness, slave cyl, master cylinder, and a tune. Is there anything else that I am missing? Also does it matter if it is coming out of a Z and going into a 2000. Not for sure if the years matter or not. BTW I have seen "the just sell your car and buy a 6 speed", but I am not selling MY car.

Thanks
Austin

I wanted to do this on a '58 Chrysler I had. It's still a great idea.

Are you talking about the whole car? I have to keep the whole car because it would be even more difficult to take everything off of the car and swap to another than to do the trans. I mean the blower, the cage, the interior pieces, built in radar, heck, even the light cannons. So I will definitley be keeping the car
