My cousin has done it, you gotta get the transmission from another v6 camaro, also you gotta pull the stuff like clutch peddles and linkages. Pretty much go to a junkyard and pull all the stuff having to do with the maunal tranny off of a donor car. As far as difficulty installing them i think ya gotta drill some holes somewhere for mounting some of the componants anyway here are some links that might help you get a better idea. Cost wise it doesint cost that much if you can get everything off a donor car probably in the 200 dollar range, it takes a fair bit of effort and patiance though.
