Its possible just not easy, not cheap, and not really worth while. List of parts off my head:
PCM from a manual firebird
Wiring harness from a manual firebird
center console from a manual firebird
clutch pedal assembly
transmisson (of course)
master cylinder (f-bodys have hydraulic not cable)
transmission mounts from a manual firebird
Quite possibly more
Cost:way to much
Its alot of work that I would not recomend to a backyard mechanic. BTW whoever told you autos suck is full of it. The fastest cars on this board are Auto. Autos can be made better than manuals. You just need a corvette servo and a shift kit. If you really want the manual (yes I know banging gears is fun I have a manual sports car not a f-body though)your best bet is to trade it in for a manual (insurance is higher on it at least in FL it is more room for driver error).
corvete servo and shift kit huh....its all new to me. i dont have a clue of what that'll do, but what will it run me?

The TransGo shift kit is probably the best and most popular shift kit out there. TBYRNE sells it for $110. A Corvette Servo is a small part, not 100% sure what it does, but it's something like it has smaller gears and a larger area and helps with fluid, something like that, helps w/ firmer shifts basically. Not sure where to get one... this weekend I'm buying one from someone locally for $10 :D He said he bought em new for $25, so it's not an expensive piece.

I remember reading in GMHTP that going from auto to manual would not require a PCM change. This of course was on a third gen car, which i believe has a lot less trouble codes than an OBD-II car, so this could not apply to your car. Anyone have any more info on that?
hope this can help anyone lookin for 'em. i think im gonna for the kit and servo after i get gmmg exhaust (should be by june).
