I did this about 12 years ago.  Converting is not really that difficult
if you have all the correct parts.  The easiest way is to buy a junk
manual transmission vehicle and just swap things over.  Otherwise it
will be very frustrating getting all the little stuff like pressure
plate bolts, linkage parts, pilot bearing and felt washer, clutch
hydraulic line, etc.  Buying this stuff new will also be very expensive
if even possible.  You will also need a MT Kennedy adapter kit or at
least several parts from a MT Kit.  I'm sure Kennedy can tell you how
the MT and the AT kits are different.

You will also get to scrounge lots of parts you might need in the future
like turn signal switches, relays, headlight buckets, etc.  Also, don't
forget to salvage lots of good quality metric nuts and bolts.

Good luck.
