I have done these, and it's easier than you might think.
You already have functioning manual in the car, so the clutch and bellhousing need not be touched.
You'll need a bellhousing adapter, T5 trans, C4 type speedo cable and gear, T5 crossmember, special T5 shift lever and knob, and access to a lift and about 4 hours to do the job. As stated above, the normal 28 spline slip yoke you already have (unless you have one of those funky early transmissions with the 25 spline) will work, and although the driveshaft fits tighter, I have yet to see one that needs to be cut. Remember, when you put weight on the rear axle, the yoke slides
out of the trans. Really, for you with your manual setup, the T5 conversion is easy.
