Transmission Swap - Auto to Manual

Can anyone tell me how much of a pain it is to swap out tranny's? I have the oppurtunity to race the car, nothing major, nothing fancy, nothing for money, just fun **** and giggles. But, to get more power, and better fuel economy in general....been thinking bout getting a manual transmission....but, wanted to know (hopefully from someone who's done it), just how big of a pain it is. I might make an attempt at it myself, or see how much a shop would charge...but still throwing the idea around.
