auto gaz's are easier to do a manual conversion when putting in a newer engine (ie. SR20)
to start with, you'll need to find a gearbox and a pedal box, they're the important things
not sure about crossmembers and tailshafts, but i presume they'll need swapping too

The pedal box is the hard part to find.

Your Lucky i failed doing a manual swap matt! 
I was in Adelaide pick-a-part to find that and enlisted the assistance of Will (4got10) to get it out.

so .... just thought i would let you all know that i didn't end up buying it , sorry for the delayed post too. i ended up buying a 97 tf magna 5 spd for $1400 with a new engine. only because thats what i lernt to drive in. and there a half decent car once you get past the fact its a magna, they have some balls..... i clocked a dolla 65 in a 60 zone lol they have a fair bit of torque, it shocked me. lol. but indeed still looking at a gaz when i move out and have room for a project car. but im even still waiting on my magna its sitting in magnas are us in lilydale getting a new engine so i stiil havent set eyes on it. coz my brother bought it for me. so i will maybe post up some pics when i get her.
but thanks for the help with everything guys and sorry to dissapoint you with no gaz
