One thing that`s,  often overlooked is the spigot bearing for the crank, make sure you have one of those, in fact off the top of my head here`s a quick list of things you will need.

Gearbox with slave cylinder
Gearbox crossmember
Front half of propshaft
Spigot bearing
Clutch and flywheel (a good opportunity to fit a lightened flywheel  ;) )
Flywheel bolts
Flywheel locking tool , easy to make yourself.
Pedal box
Copper/nickel brake pipe
brake pipe flaring tool
Gearstick
Rubber gator and adaptor plate for gear stick ( rivets to the transmission tunnel)
Silver or wood surround
Leather surround

If you have cruise fitted then you will want a clutch switch for the cruise loom
If it was me I would also use the fuel,injection loom from a manual car too and remove the auto loom and ECU.
I`d also fit two new propshaft rubber couplings and a new propshaft centre bearing carrier too as these can perish.

why you need flaring tool??

surround panel on FL cars ane same on auto and manual cars :y

The clutch is hydraulic so you will need to make up a pipe from the master cylinder to the gearbox, unless you use one from a donor car.
