Aside from the trans mount and the tunnel, I am unsertain whatelse you might have to do. I am concerned about the clutch fork, and the driveshaft. The fork might hit the tunnel and the driveshaft may need to be shortened,but I honestly do not know. you will need to start with those though. The reason I said tunnel at the beginning is you will have to elongate it for the new placement of the shifter,either forward or backward(never did the conversion). Hope this can give you some insite into it.
