I've also done a few auto to manual swaps on 140s. Can't recommend it enough, changes the whole personality of the car.

What parts do you have?
Biggest suggestion, though not always practical, is to have a complete donor car. Makes it easy to see what goes where and what parts are required. Yes you will need a clutch cable.

I don't think a 122 bell housing will work with the cable operated fork. Not sure about the 122 driveshaft. The front section of an automatic driveshaft will definately not work.

Finding a proper pedal assembly is much easier than trying to fabricate the automatic assembly to accept the clutch pedal.

If you have the parts, the conversion is pretty easy.
