Yes. It's lots of work.
You need to change the flywheel to a pressure plate.
The mounts do not match up and youll have to custom make a bracket.
The Autos quite frankly, are complete slushboxes, it will cost you more than the car is worth to put the auto into it.

If you're talking about swaping engines just change out the flexplate/cw/tq converter to a flywheel/clutch assembly and drop in. Other minor issues will probably arrise but they won't be so bad that you have to tear apart the car to fix it.

Every aftermarket part for compact sports cars either says "Racing", "JDM", or "JDMRACINGDRIFTSUPERDUPERLOVEYOULONGTIME!" on it these days. It's purely marketing. Like "low fat" or "Reduced sugar" dosn't mean it's better for you.

Naw its just marketing.
Typically a race car will have the bare minimum of things and is generally purely concerned with performance and race regulations. That generally means no emmissions equipment at all and very light mufflers(which do little if anything). A "cat-back" is a system designed for the street driven car who's owner wants a different sound/tone for. Its minimal power increase compared to replacing the rest of the exhaust with performance components. It also has more to do with looks and sound than anything.
