tranny conversion

hey, i'm thinking of doing a conversion on my 87' from automativ transmission to manual transmission, i was wondering the following:
1. the auto tranny comes with the balancer on the back with the flex plate, that will be gone if i put a flywheel right?
2. does the eccentric shaft have a different back for a manual and an automatic?
3. is it true that i also have to change the driveshaft?
4. is the starter for an automatic different for a manual?
5. is the transmission mount different on the automatic?
