I thought about doing this when my knee was acting up.
I have a cross-member for an auto trans still sitting here. What you will need is either a different steering collumn with the shifter on it or a floor shifter. Then you will need cooling lines and a radiator with a cooler in it. You will need a modulator tube/hose,kickdown linkage,flexplate,torque converter,not sure about driveshaft length. It will take a little doing,not really a "bolt-up" but I don't think it will be too hard.
___and of course the auto trans cross member_________
