It kind of depends on what you can purchase all the components for and if you're doing the work yourself. The big pieces would be the tranny itself, clutch / flywheel, master and slave cylinders. Almost as easy to change out the whole pedal box rather than the individual pedals. The starter is different as well btw the auto / manual. The clutch and hydraulics, I'd buy new.
Minimum I'd think would be in the $500 / $700 range.

I did this swap on my 1985 GSL.
Last year I sold everything needed to do this swap except for a new clutch for $700 + $400 shipping. This also included the trans cross member body mounts cut from a scrap car. The auto and manual 1984/1985 bodies do not have the same trans mounts welded to the body.
Look at post 4 in this thread.
