hungy

I have a CL with a h22a motor in buts its still auto. I want to convert it to a manuel. I have been told that the 1st gen CL's are identical to the 97 accords but then someone told me the pedals and parts for a manuel conversions are different and only the engine bay is the same as the 97 accord. Can someone please clearify what I need for the conversion from auto to manuel and whether or not I can use accord or prelude parts from a junk yard?
