Automatic to manual swap

Okay so I've decided to swap my 86 automatic transmission that's been having issues for a manual 5 speed. I've been talking to a guy with an 87 NA and he says he has all the parts needed for the swap.
Trans, flywheel, driveshaft, differential, all clutch parts, master, slave, says he has the trans crossmember. What I'm worried about is he hasn't told me if its a 2 seater or a 2+2 but if its a 2+2 like mine the whole driveline should bolt straight on right?

yes assuming yours is also an n/a engine. what about the clutch pedal assembly, hydraulics and the console top. the auto and the manual are different. you need the hydraulic lines.

He says he sold the shell but he took everything out of it. It's a 2 seater though... So I'd have to look for another driveshaft meant for a 2+2 right? But if he has all the lines and cylinders, and pedals all I'd need to find would be another driveshaft?
