2.5L V6 Ford Probe (626, MX-6)...Manual transmission question

The automatic transmission went bad on my 93 PGT and im looking to swap it to a manual. Im buying a used transmission tomorrow and am wondering what else I may need?
Do I need to reprogram the cpu or is the car too old to where it may not matter?
 
I am not familiar with doing a swap in a v6 but some things to keep in mind:

Transmission mounts may be different

Brake components for the hydraulic clutch hose

Axles - different from auto to manual?
Flywheel/clutch in good shape?
Also replace the axle seals and throw out bearing while everything is out as they are cheap and prone to issues considering their age
Shifter linkage
Crossmember different?

Park/neutral safety switch (or car wont start)
Reverse lights plug the same?

I was able to run on an auto ecu with manual in an escort gt. Not sure if probe would be much different.
