Default ef 5 spd swap?

what all parts are needed? i have:

tranny
mounts
linkage
clutch cable
clutch
flywheel
pressureplate
bolts
starter
shifter
pedals
plastic console thingy


do i have to change the ecu? or can i just wire in the reverse switch and call it a day?

also what is the best way to install the shifter assembly in the floor?...just cut a hole? or do i have to weld in the piece from the 5 spd? any other needed info would be great.

by the way its a 91 dx sedan

thanx
rob

well thanx for trying....i know the usual parts, i was looking for advise from someone who has done it and knows all the pain in the ass parts and little details that im gonna run into....from looking at the trans mount i dont think you have to reweld it like the eg/dc's ...also this year auto trans only had 1 wire going to it(solinoid)...so im thinking i can get away without changing the ecu...but if i have to i can change the whole damn harness and use the manual ecu, since i have all the parts at my disposal....just dont know if im gonna have to.
