Pretty much done with manual conversion...

What about the interior wiring from the auto shifter? You need to bridge the park/neutral switch wires in the plug that goes into the auto shifter to the clutch start switch, otherwise you are going to have some trouble starting it.

move white plug (pin #18) to dark grey plug into (pin # 17)

And this step is for a car that came with a manual transmission. Having an auto interior harness you are most likely going to have to put this wire to a different pin.

What color wires are those for the shifter do you know????

The easiest way to do it is in the engine bay at the park/neutral position switch that plugs into the auto tranny, but since you are going to be replacing the whole engine harness you'd be getting rid of that end, so you need to do it on the interior side.

Its a black wire and a black/yellow wire but you need to connect one from the harness side to the other one from the ECU side and I can't remember which way it goes. I think its the black wire you cut that comes out of the ECU into one of the three interior plugs and goes into the harness behind the console, then you cut the black/yellow wire from one of this shifter plugs and connect it to the black wire (this will make it so you can start with car without using the clutch) OR just route both wires to the clutch start switch on the clutch pedal (doesn't matter which one goes into what pin cause it just connects the two when you push the clutch in).

This is the part that throws things off a little. The above wire moves the Beams clutch start wire from the engine to the GT clutch start switch in the interior. I'm not sure, but you may be able to bypass that whole step I mentioned above and just repin a different wire for this step. Either way you are probably going to have to move this wire to a different pin. I'd have to think about it and discuss it with Dustin, since he is the wiring expert here, everything I know is from things he's taught me.
