At a bare minimum you need a trans, clutch, flywheel, pedal assembly, master cylinder, slave cyl, lines, shifter, cables and axles.
It would be a much better idea to sell the car and buy a manual trans car.

You asked about how to go about it ... honestly the easiest way is going to be to pull the engine and go from there. You'll have much better access to the firewall and some the holes you have to cut. You could do it with the engine in the car, but if you have the means to pull the motor I think that will be a much better approach.

I would tell you make sure that the trans you get has been tested and ask how many miles are on the car and make sure if your buying it from a private person to bring a friend with you so no funny business will happen. I would go to ( car-part.com ) they test and usually give some kind of warranty. Oh yeah you will need a an ECM for the manual trans setup.
