Just did this on my Acura Integra. It is true. With everthing (harness, dash in car) this is not as easy to do. Also true, manual and auto throttle cable (connection at the pedal) are different. Helpful tips: disconnect the brake light switch (before you begin unbolting assembly). You do not need to undo the brake booster lines, come out to the engine bay and pull it way gently (careful to not bend the hardlines). Lastly, lock up your steering and drop the column. Its helpful if you have a second person to sustain the column a bit. Hope this helps someone. This is how I converted the entire assembly over to manual.
Because in order to do that I will need to undo the brake booster and I wanted to avoid that. On top of that the throttle cable is different between the auto and manual. So to do the job right you kind of need the manual throttle as well
