Default swapping motors with a manual trans

I have only done 2 or 3 motor swaps and they have been all chevys and therefore all auto, as much as I hate chevy im surrounded by chevy lovers. Anyway this upcoming weekI am getting rid of the stock 86 motor in my car and putting in another windsor motor. My trans is stick so how would that work?

thanks

T-5 probably won't hold up to the Windsor torque for too long, better be easy on it
