Swapping to an auto, what do I need?

The obvious would be...
Trans
Pedals
Column
Driveshaft
And I guess a new comp

What am I missing?

A donor truch is best way. That said, my suggestion is trade vehicles for what you want. There are people who will pay premium for a manual. Have personally spendt far to many hours and money making conversions and still generally come up a little short on some part of conversion.
