TA22 Auto to Manual conversion

Hey everyone,
I have a couple of questions about converting a TA22 from auto to manual, i have 2 complete TA22's a 74 and a 75 one being manual and the other auto (of course you say 
The car that the manual box is in has way too much rust so I want to swap the boxes over.
Anyway the questions are:
1. Does the auto body have all the bolt holes etc on the interior for mounting the peddle assembly?
2. I will need to use the tailshaft from the manual box on the other car right? (ie the auto tailshaft is a different size?)
I dont have any kind of manual for my TA22's so if anyone has done this before and has anything else to add to my list of questions please feel free to do so.
Oh also anyone know of someone in Ipsiwch qld, that could do some minor rust repairs for me reasonably cheaply?
Thanks in advance guys.

1. yes.
2. yes. BUT depending on the diffs in your cars (they are late so they may be T series and not the POS D series i have) the flanges may not be the same.
also...have a quick look under the auto and manual body - at where the gearbox crossmember bolts to towards the outside (there are 4 holes to choose from) - see if they are indeed the same...(i suspect they will be)
you'll need the manual shifter, the starter motor, flywheel, spigot bush, clutch master cylinder and lines, prolly other stuff as well i can't think of too...but if you have both cars you'll be ok.

Yeah I have done this conversion. '72 TA22, its all spanner work, grab all the bits and swap em over no drama's, except the yoke on the auto diff. Change the yoke on the tailshaft, or change it on the diff. Uni joint replacement will probably be required anyway, so change the yoke on the shaft.
regards Chuck.

Thanks guys,
Sounds like it isnt too bad a job considering i have 2 cars to bet the bits i need. I eventually plan to put all the running gesr from the manual car into the auto one. Engine, Diff, shocks etc as they are better ones. I want to rebuild the motor though as its been blowing some oil back up into the webbers air filter. (it may just need some good running as it has been sitting for ages) but hard to do when both are unregistered
Afte the conversion I am going to put all the bits back into the rustier car and then see if anyone wants it. But that will be a while yet
Got to get the rust spots fixed soonish before i do too much more mechanically. (not that much rust just i cant weld with a mig )
Anyway thanks for the advice and when its all done I will be posting some pics of the black beast
