I've seen it done the other way around, so it certainly is
possible.  A big job though.  You need the pedal cluster
from an automatic to get rid of the clutch pedal.  The
entire dash needs to be removed so you might as well replace
the blower motor while you are at it.

subject says it all. I want an auto in a currently manual
van. I can get the
AT, starter, linkage and shifter.

Is it worth the trouble? has anyone done it? what do you do
with the clutch
pedal? turn it into a bull worker exercise device?
