I am almost sure you cant use the auto harness for your 5spd conversion but who knwos you may be able to id jsut have a 5spd harness on standby if it dosent work since they are relatively easy to come by.....didnt really need a new motor lol but yea you need shift linkage, which im sure you have, and youll need the line or some way to run the line from the clutch master to the little part before the slave where its i think a rubberish type hose. Besides that in order to do it correctly you would of needed the sensors for the clutch pedal so it will only start with it pushed in....or something like that. Anyhow you have pretty much all of it ohhh you will need a flywheel and clutch kit for that set-up any d-series flywheel should do as long as its for a 5spd and make sure you get a z6 clutch or something like that....

But besides that i think you should be good though id think about while the motor is out and stuff repainting the bay if needed or cleaning it really good.....

You can use your auto axles.
You will also need:
clutch lines, or the Earl's conversion ss braided clutch line
manual starter & long bolt
passenger side conversion mount
rear mount
lower front tranny mount
Manual Flywheel bolts (auto ones are too short)
flywheel, Clutch & Pressure Plate (probably had that)
pilot bearing
release bearing
linkage & shifter & bushings, bitch pin, bolts, knob, dust boot

Your auto harness will work fine. You will need to run reverse wires if you want to have reverse lights though. Also you will need to connect the 2 fat wires on the auto shifter harness to make your car start, or run them to the clutch pedal switch to make it so you have to push the clutch in to make the car start.
