Honda swap ?'s

I have an '89 Honda CRX with a 1.5 and an auto. I am in the process of purchasing a d15z1 with a 5spd tranny and was wondering what odds and ends I will have to purchase to finish the swap. I have read that because the car is an auto I might have problems converting it to 5spd. Ill do some further reading on here but was gonna ask someone who may have prior experience.

Here's my swap write up: crxMPG - Gas mileage never looked so good » CRX D15Z1 (Civic VX) Fuel Economy Swap Guide

You shouldn't have issues going from auto to manual, you just need to get the manual engine mounts, use a 88-91 transmission, and hook up your shift linkage.

There are also a number of How-To articles over on CRX Community Forum • Index page -- the "MPFI swap" is one you'll need to look at, because the DX-level CRXes all had "DPFI". They may also have info on doing the auto-to-manual swap.
