swapping trans(auto for u-shiftm)

alright guys I'm thinking, well more than thinking of going to an automatic. So whats it take?
Are the drivshafts different? Crossmember?
I know I need a flexplate. I'm also wondering if the t-case bolts up to an auto since I just put a rebuilt in yesterday.
Oh the brings up how bad I broke that, the cases were broke on both sides like it tried to pull the gears together with the chain, when Gary(willyslover) and I took it apart the drive fell out the front half. GRENADED
Anyway on the way home the tranny got stuck in 5th so by the time I got home the clutch was shot....time for an auto.
