Not knowing the make or the model it is impossible to guess. Generally you would have to change the radiator, run the transmission lines and change out flywheel and possibly driveshaft.

With older cars (early hydramatics, for example), you do not have to change the radiator and there ae no transmission lines, but in addition to changing the flywheel and driveshaft, you also have to add the linkage to the carburetor.

You might need to change the ECM (computer) and you may be able to put in an oil cooler instead of changing the radiator.

Another way to go would be to contact your local automotive junk yard and purchase a wrecked vehicle that is the same as yours except automatic. The vehicle would need to be damaged in a way that doesn't effect the parts you are interested in. You would then have everything needed to swap over including peddle assembly, steering column or console, linkages, wiring, switches, crossmember, flywheel, driveshaft, correct speedometer gears, cooling lines, radiator and so on.

Yes, it can be done, but it is much harder to change from an A/T to a Manual than from a Manual to an A/T. You will need a donor car for all the parts needed, otherwise the cost would be extremely high. Realize you will have to install a clutch pedal, different brake pedal, and a floor shifter to control the transmission. My advice is to sell the vehicle you now own and buy one with a Manual transmission if that is what you want. You will be money ahead.
