VS - 6 pots, 5 cogs
I want to do the same thing... Physically its pretty straight forward and should all bolt up. Engine mounts etc should be the same, but you will need to get your flywheel balanced to the new engine. You'll need the charged fuel pump etc etc.

The only thing that confused me was the computer side of things. I'm not sure if the L67 will run from the manual computer and loom. I'm guessing you'd have to use the L67 loom/computer and get it tuned to turn off all the auto functions and then do some loom modifications to attach speed sensors, reverse lights etc.

Converting to manual was fairly do-able, but I think that if I decide to go L67 then I'd sort of be going backwards a couple of steps... The setup would be a lot more "messy" I think

Bought one with 110 xxx complete motor and tranny for 1700 delivered to my door about 4 days ago, just constantly trawl through ebay auctions ending, took me about 6 months to find one reasonably priced, in good condition!

i'm thinking of doing this in the future however i wouldnt trust the stock 5 speed to last very long especially if you start upping the boost
