You don't need a manual ECU; the automatic ECU can easily be converted by changing 2 jumpers inside. Worry about that part later, it's really easy to do.

There, saved you some money.

Alot! If you have all the parts you would be looking at 700 plus to do the swap at a shop. If you don't have any of the parts It's going to be 3 times as much!

I'll agree with that. If it's a sedan/coupe, there are a lot of them around everywhere you go, so finding one in good condition with a manual tranny should be easy.
