Seeking auto to stick info



Hello everyone,
today I went to the junk yard and picked up a fivespeed from and '86 along
with two axle shafts, flywheel, brake/clutch pedal assembly, shifter, hydrolic line for the clutch and an exhaust down pipe. It looked like theese would be all I'll need for a swap into an '84 5000s ... did I forget something? Pilot bearing
and rear crank seal I'll buy new, It seems that I already have a wiring 
connector for the back-up sw. The hole through the tunnel looks different and it looks that it would need to be cut wider for the new boot.

Please dont tell me that the bell housing will not bolt up to my earlier motor because of some small minor variation....;-)
Any helpfull pointers to make the job easier? It took me about three-four hours
to round-up all these parts and it was hot there, too hot. It looks like about an 8 hour job if I take my time to clean everything and do it right. 

I searced through the archives but found nothing even though I remember
seeing some info on this subject about a year and a half ago, I searched
on automatic,transmission, swap, stick, manual, etc....

thanks for any help
