Default 2001 AWD Auto to manual swap

Im getting ready to replace a blown out auto with a manual since I found a wrecked donor Crv at the junk yard. What parts are needed?

are the Crv axles the same?
thanks

Where the shifter mounts is entirely different in a manual CRV vs the Auto, aka the floorpan is drastically different. If you are ok with that hurdle, welding or otherwise, then forge ahead.
