3g manual conversion questions

Hi all,

I have the opportunity to pick up manual conversion bits for a 3g for a reasonable price.
Not set on doing the conversion, but I had said that if the opportunity came up I'd take it (on the basis that I might want to do it at some point and opportunities to get the bits will become less and less frequent!)

Can people please double check the list below of exactly what I need?

I have the following list atm;
  • Manual box
    Manual gear lever mechanism and gaiter
    Manual gear shift cables/linkage
    Clutch pedal assembly
    Clutch master cylinder and hydraulic lines
    Brake/accelerator pedal assembly
    Dash clocks
    Flywheel
    Bell-housing cover plate
    Clutch
    Engine wiring loom
    Starter motor
    Transmission gearbox mount
    ALL bolts/buts/brackets etc that come off with that lot
Things I'm not sure of;
  • Driveshafts? Looking on lings, the only things I can see that are different is the dynamic dampers (big deal!) and prelude3g.com says NO! ( :think: but I'm a bit dubious?)
    ECU?
    Any other wiring looms? (which ones?)

Thing's I'm pretty sure that I don't need;
  • Centre console surround (looks the same on auto and manual)

Thanks

EDIT 1&2: adding things after Ratty's linked site... 8-)

Starter motor!!!

:? Lower rad hose? :o
(Ahh... looks like that's because he thinks it will tear rather than because it's any different). I'd take the whole engine out rather than try to do this with the engine in the car I think (for a bit of extra hassle, it makes access to everything so much easier!)
:think: interesting that the reverse lights on an auto are driven from the gear shift selector rather than the gearbox...
