Default Auto to manual swap?

I was wondering if it is worth trying to swap an automatic to a 5 speed for a 95 GT. I know a lot of things need to be done but I love to drive manuals. Is it worth going through it all?

you have to decide for yourself.

i look at it this way, due to my usage of auto's and lack of driving time w/ a 5 speed, i miss a shift and hit a lower gear, well my motor might be toast...i dont want that lol
i cant do that w/ my auto, impossible, so i like that! lol

My car original had an AOD and I had a T5 swapped in. Its so much more fun to drive on the street.
