It's all pretty easy if you have RA40 bits, plug and play. You may need to embiggen the hole in the transmission tunnel but that's not hard.

i think maurice-c has a write up somewhere on what they did when converting an auto to manual. you would need to hunt around a little bit for said thread, i don't remember what it was called.
The gearshifter hole was indeed a different spot as norbie eludes to but would still poke through the existing hole, it is just closer to the rear of the hole.
If i was doing it, i would go to the wreckers and look for a manual version and grab everything off of it relating to the manual and simply swap it all over.
good luck
