If you pull the donor car's parts, and then drive up in the car to be swapped, I'd say you've got 8 hours work to remove and convert the auto car to manual.
Putting everything back into the manual car, making it an automatic, actually should go easier, but not a whole lot easier; it's still a lot of work. You'll just be starting the second one with ALL the parts lying in the driveway... so maybe only 5 hours? And all of this assumes you have at least one helper, and adequate tools, jacks, supplies, etc and don't take too many smoke breaks.
Buy your beer ahead of time too, you don't want to run out.
Seriously though the punch set mentioned elsewhere, those are electricians tools and a good hardware store may rent a set of them. The industry standard tools are made by Greenlee, and include a hydraulic pulling punch machine and multiple cutting dies of different sizes. Beats the heck out of drilling. (Though you'll have to drill a pilot hole.)
