Converting an L98 to Manual

I am considering buying an 88 GTA 350 TPI as a project car. I'm not a big fan of automatics, and I'm wondering if anyone has heard of (or even successfully completed) swapping the A4 for a M5 or M6. Will the M5 from the 305 even fit the 350? If not, does anyone know of a custom setup that may work?

Thanks,

Steven
