Maybe if you don't feel like doing any work and just taking the easy way, its not to hard. I would say the hardest time you will run into is getting the new pedals in. Here is a link to help you out.

http://hometown.aol.com/jrmupzaii/auto2man.html

Here are some parts you will need

-Pedal assembly, keep your old one cause you will have to switch over the gas pedal unless u want to change the cable out too

-flywheel and flywheel bolts as the auto bolts are much shorter

-Tranny of course, Si or DX 5 speed is good choice

-Clutch and pressure plate

-Clutch cable and firewall gromet

-Shiftlinkage with shifter and boot from 88 - 91 civic or crx

Yes you will need a manual ECU. Your also going to have to rewire your reverse lights from the auto shifter out to the manual trans. Make sure that when you take everything apart that your car is in park or neutral you may or may not have to jump the wires to make your car think that it is in park or neutral all the time or you can run those wires up to the stock neutral safety switch and that way you will have it otherwise your car will start no matter what. Or you can do what Limozeen and I have done and compeletely replace your current harnesses with ones from a manual one a lot more work invovled in that though than just rewiring your current harness.
