if you're going to swap to a turbo tranny, here's what you need:
Brake/clutch pedal assemby
clutch master cylinder
turboII slave cylinder
new hydraulic hard line/soft line as it's better to use new ones than the old ones
turboII flywheel/clutch
turboII transmission
turboII driveshaft
turboII differential
turboII halfshafts
You *can* avoid the TII driveshaft/rear-end/ and halfshafts using either 1) the automatic driveshaft (i don't suggest it because it's a tad bit short, and it's not a very strong differential. 2) get a custom made 3) use a NA transmission and save yourself some time

Oh, I forgot to mention, the tranny mount's don't line up so you'll have to fabricate something to mount the transmission to, in my case I had Kevin Landers drill me a peice of angle iron and send it to me and I bolted it to the bottom of the automatic crossmember and then bolted the 5 speed to the angle iron using the top half of it's crossmember (the rubber mount part with the long bolt through it) I believe Kevin has a write-up on his site, http://www.rotaryresurrection.com
