Here are some decent 5 speed swap guides. (although one is for a s14, it may still help)

Just remember to take your time so you don't have to do it twice.

If you read through the write ups and still have some questions feel free to pm me. I did my swap a little over a year ago and remember it pretty well.
Yeah i know what to do, what i need..I get stuck at some parts though
