Default Tranny Swap Question

I appologize if this has been asked before but I was wondering what needs to be done, what parts I'll need and all that fancy stuff to do a swap from Automatic to Manual transmission in a 1989 Ford Mustang GT Convertible.

Tranny,bellhousing,crossmember,driveshaft,clutch cable,brake/clutch pedal assembly,clutch,shifter,clutch fork,TO bearing,flywheel,pilot bearing that should be about it...and you will need the shift boot and a manual cover...
