The clutch pedal switch provides the same function as the neutral safety switch does in an automatic. It requires you to depress the clutch pedal before starting to ensure the starter doesn't try to pull the truck in gear and make a simple situation worse. It is mounted on the pedal assy.

Some trucks (not sure if these truck are effected by this) originally equipped with the bench seat and a manual will have a cutout in the middle so if the seat is all the way up and the stick is back, they won't contact.

If there isn't a pilot bearing, usually the crank is machined to accept one. You will just need to install the correct one for your trans.
The items I listed before are just a list of things that I know are different between most manual and automatic trucks. There will be things that you can get by without changing (ie the steering column), just make sure the research is done before diving in. One more thing I thought of last night was the ignition switch, the manuals have the little button on them that prevent the key from coming out.
