Transmission Conversion

Hello

I have a '98 V70 T5. Been a pretty good car, but since I build hot-rods in my spare time, I can't help but tinker with this one.

I've always wondered what this car would be like with a manual, and I'm wondering what you could tell me about doing a conversion - from auto to manual. Obviously, you need the usual - trans, levers, pedals and linkage, nuts and bolts - but what else? Axles the same? Anything odd need to be done to the computer to make it work or is it simply a bolt-in procedure?

Thanks for your input.
