auto to 5spd conversion question

im going to stick a t56 in my 74 duster. if you chop out the crossmember you need to add something pretty substantial to replace it. the actory trans mount and crossmember take a lot of stress from the torsion bars. only thing you will use from a factory 4 speed car is the pedals. you will probably go with a hydraulic clutch. i would just go for an auto car and spend the 1-200 on pedals. i need to figure out what im going to run for cylinder heads and ill be ready to start the swap.
