if your converting to manual, you would be as well buying a rotten rs turbo so you can take over all little bits and pieces as well as loom, fuel tank driveshafts etc

I have done this conversion, you will need to cut and re-shape the floor for the gear linkage to fit, and weld a hole up or rubber bung where cable came through the floor, you will probably change the whole loom, i never cos i went EFI so i had to by pass the inhibitor switch otherwise car thinks it's in park and wont start.
