search the archives they have almost everything you need to know about for an auto to manual swap. And I think there is a tech article on it as well.

its possible, me and a friend did it in my 89 IROC at the end of the summer. like was said, just do a search for it, youll get plenty.
btw, id recommend a 6 spd from a 93 - 97 F body, it will handle a good amount of torque and shouldnt give you much grief, thats what i went with
