Auto to 5 speed

Ok sense it seems I'm going to finally get an S30 I need to fix a small problem. its an auto. I'm just double checking myself here to make sure what I need to get.

Pedals
Hard-lines
Master/Slave cylinder
Shift boot stuff

Will the auto drive shaft work Or do I have to change it? I'm going to use a 5 speed that came out of an 83 ZX

Ok so that saves me some money, I'll just reuse the driveshaft thats already in it. Well that was simple!

I think while Im at the junkyard I'll pick up the 240Z bumpers grill and from turn signals Make it look like a 240Z lol

Er... From what I was looking up it seems that the driveshafts are the same between auto and 5 speed for the S30. Hmm...

Ok so Manual Drive Shaft, Hard line, master/slave, Pedals, flywheel/clutch. Then I need to bypass the inhibitor thingy and remove some junk needed for the auto. Simple enough. Oh I guess I better upgrade to an R200 as well. Will the halfshafts from a 280ZX work fine?
