Default K20A swap into RSX BASE AUTO

OK, I have a 03 automatic base rsx. I bought a JDM K20A Type R Motor and I want to swap it into my car. It came with the entire motor, trans, ecu, axels, shift linkage, intake and exhaust manifold, and the engine harness. I realize that if I had a manual right now then this should theoretical go right in with no problem. But becuase I have an auto I think I may need more things like the pedal assembly, shifter (not sure what parts), and the reseviors for the clutch fluid and etc. Can someone please tell me what else I need or if I do need these things? Thanks.

You plan on selling the base engine with auto tranny? Was thinking about that swap for my daily driver civic?
