are you talking about a corsa b? you will need the pedal box assembley from the manual the hole for the clutch cable is in this. the body shells are the same. just bolt on parts that will be differant. the rad will have an oilcooler in it on the auto but still ok for a manual.

You need to get the gear stick cage and rod assembly from a manual! Just bolts on!

best to get the gear linkage from the same model as you are putting it in to, and make sure gear patern is the same lay out for reverse. left and forwards is the norm.

c & b have different floor pans so length and mounts may be different? a lot of C's are cable shift to.

Ill get one from a b. What do I do with the wiring from the auto box? Its connected in the left footwell. Doesnt that need to be swapped so it can be used with manual gearbox sender?

some of the wiring will be different as the auto box will be connected to the ecu somewhere?
with out searching through wiring schematics I cant say exactly where and what wires.

The gearbox has its own ecu . The wiring from it splits to gearbox. And other to green plug in drivers footwell. Just wanna know if it will still wire in the same or do I need a sport dash loom. If it works this way I can use the epas. If I go down sport route ill need to change to pas ?

should all be fine as the epas works off the rpm of the engine and speedo wiring.
im running stand alone ecu in mine and epas and speedo are ok. you may find the gear light stays on on the dash so just pull the bulb out. as corsa b's don't have a bcu just ecu and autobox control unit if auto its all very simple.
