Auto to manual swap. Need advice.

I have a 1989 GXL thats in awesome shape but has an automatic transmission that bogs it down seriously. Now I have a complete TII transmission setup and drivetrain. All the TII parts are in a whole car so they are all there and accounted for. What do I need to do in order put this drivetrain into my '89. Also would the crossmember fit the '89 and will there be issues with the electronic **** that was hooked in to the auto?

I'm pretty sure that you need the T2 flywheel and clutch assemble, and cylinders as well...
You need to unplug the automatic transmission computer also after u do the swap, its in the passengers side, right side of the footwell behind the carpet or whatever, i threw mine in the trash.
*please correct any wrong information i may have given*
