Default manual transmission swap for 1984 3.8l lx?

I recently have picked up a 1984 v6 3.8lx automatic convertible. Ive been looking to do a transmission swap on it with a manual transmission. i was looking at the tremec TKO's and the T5's. If anyone could provide me with a full parts list for the sawp i would appreciate it so much.

To avoid a wiring mess, i would try a T5 out of a fox 5.0, bell, pedal assymbly, fork, cable, clutch kit from any 94-04 v6 and flywheel for the 84 v6

Biggest thing is going to be making sure input shaft is correct length to work with bell housing, and that thr bell will bolt to your engine without a clearance issue.
