Automatic to Manual

I'm about to buy myself a 92 Civic DX hatchback for $600. I was either gona resell it or see if I can swap an engine into it. I already have a 95 Civic CX hatchback that I dropped a B18B into.

Question is: Has anyone had any success in swapping a manual tranny into an automatic shell?

I know all about the master cylinder and stuff.. I just want to know if there's any cutting of the body I will need to do and where. Whatever other information is good also. Just let me know what you think.

the only modification needed to be done other than the parts, is that you'll need to run lines for the clutch cable and stuff where you might have to drill a hole through your firewall, just small stuff like that.
