Automatic to Manual Conversion

I'm thinking about converting my 2005 camry to a manual. What all does this entail, and is it harder than I am imagining in my mind? I have limited experience working on BMWs and generally haven't had problems doing things mechanically, so I think I would be up for it as long as it's worth the hassle.

Yeah, just get one with a manual tranny. If you don't it'll be more of a headache and more $$$ out of your wallet than you can imagine.
