Besides the trans, you'll need the pedal assembly from the stick car, the hydraulic clutch system parts, the crossmember from the donor car, and the driveshaft. You'll also need the output shaft from the stick car.

plus you will need to know what you are doing in order to do this, becaus eyou will have to drill holes in the fire wall and do some customizing. i say that it is not worht the work envolved to do this to a 6 cyulinder car. now if you had a 350 or something maybe but not a v-6

ok i have had alot of people ask why im trying to do anything to a little V-6,the reason is how many people do you see with a nice lookin car that has a V-6 in it that actually has real work done to it,like fully built engine ,i think from what ive found so far not fully built but still naturally aspirated i can push around 550 or 600 horsepower with just a V-6,mainly the reason is becuase its different.so far just about all the parts and stuff ive found have come from firebirb/camaro V-6.com or 3800 pro.com

Nothing wrong with that, and the 3.8L V-6 is a good motor, better than the 3.4L in my opinion. And with gas being what it is, having a V-6 isn't a bad thing!
Ok, another option to maybe consider here is trading your current Camaro for a stick equipped one. You might be able to find someone who wants to unload their stick car for an automatic, and you could work out a deal.
If you want to press forward modifying your current car, I'd suggest scouting around the Camaro forums and talking to guys who've done automatic to manual trans conversions on 4th Gens. Even if it was a V-8 car, most of the work is gonna be the same.
