Yes, you can successfully do this. No real problems- you should have all good parts from both cars and just swap everything over.
You need to take:
Pedals, both clutch and brake
Clutch cable
Transmission (ok, that's obvious)
driveshaft
rear crossmember with mount
flywheel
pilot bearing and clip from end of crankshaft
Shifter
Shift boot
OD wiring and relay

The car receiving the automatic must also have or receive a radiator with the trans cooler fittings.
The automatic shifter and linkage has to be swapped.
Dipstick tube and dipstick switched over, may have to be removed from pan to do it. Kickdown cable reconnected to throttle pulley.

Replace both rear main seals while they're out, and the gear oil in the M46. Probably a good time to put new rear trans mounts in both cars too. And maybe a clutch?

Congratulations on another new/old Volvo! Looking forward to pics!
