you should do the tranny swap and motor swap all at once. unless you can find one of those rare B16 auto trannys (almost impossible).

to do the tranny swap you'll need this:
tranny (of course)
clutch
flywheel
clutch pedal assembly
brake pedal
lines
shift linkage
shifter
slave cylinder
tranny mount
new guage cluster (if you want)
ECU for a manual

and the rest i can't remember so i will post more if i remember. and most shops don't want to do it, but if they will usually it will cost you about $1200 labor only.

Actualy in Japan and over here thier very very common, and in the case of del sols more common than the manuals. However since there is little to no demand in the US they are not commonly imported.
