What all is needed to convert a 96 auto car to a 97 5 speed?

I am thinking of making mine a 5 speed. I have a compete running 97 and need to know what all I need to keep other then the obvious, trans, shifter, cables, console, pedals.
Any electronics I need to keep?? Mounts etc etc

The difference in years deals mainly with the radfan cylces and the injector connectors on the harness. Since the atx is a 96, there is a 50/50 shot of the red fan relat being external from the pcm. You will have to check just under the battery tray for that.

On to the swap, you will need:
- a neon mtx (gears depend on build plan)
- modular or non-modular cluth (pretty sure you can use a t2-t3 clutch - working on that)
- pigtail for reverse plug
- mtx mount (different from atx)
- shifter cables and bracket
- bobble strut and bracket
- 5sp pedal assembly

Pretty much the same as a td really. I am also thinking you could use the mounting bracket from polybushing.com, for a car without the mounting bracket on the k-frame.
