Indeed assuming automatic to manual conversion...

You will need

1) A flywheel and a clutch pack
2) Hydraulic lines for the clutch and either a brake fluid reservoir with a supply for the clutch (as in the way Mercedes did it) or a separate custom solution
3) A different propshaft - ideally with the vibration damper Mercedes added for manual gearboxes
4) A longer speedo cable
5) A different cross member for the transmission mount - possibly a different transmission mount if your old one for the auto transmission is dead
6) Shifter rods
7) Shifter with a different bit of wood trim (automatic shifter size is different) that fits the switches etc you already have
8) Pedals
9) Clutch master cylinder and linkage to pedal

That's about it I think

Good luck finding the correct flywheel in the US of A if you happen to be there
