Pedals, from manual to automatic

Looking to replace my manual transmission with an auto and had a question. Is there a difference between the pedal setup between a manual and an auto? I know I left myself wide open for someone to say "Yeah, the clutch pedal...", but what do I need to do to get it to work. Do I need to get ahold of a junkyard automatic pedal set or is there a way to modify and use the manual pedal set I already have?

Thanks,
Josh

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience, well......that comes from bad judgment.


1968 Chevy C-10 "Longshot": Bought used from my Uncle George in 1994 and proceeding to beat the hell out of it for 4 years. Sold it. Bought it back, dumped an ungodly amount of money into it since then.

Pedal setups are the same. All you have to do is remove the clutch pedal and related linkage.
