I traded my one month owned automatic for a manual. But that's just because I caught a hell of a deal. Even my dealer said it was pretty lucky of me. But I wouldn't do this. Too many things could go wrong and it very well may not even perform as good anymore, even with a proper installation of the manual gear box.

Here's a neat project Honda Motor Company in Japan did for handicapped ex-Formula One driver who gave Honda a few constructor's trophies back in the 1960's with their first Honda F1 program. Clay Reggazoni's NSX is fitted with automatic transmission and hand controls. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKL3A7ucII0"]Clay Regazzoni and his NSX HONDA. - YouTube[/ame]

Swapping the manual from an AT was not so difficult long ago, and even easier than going backwards from MT to AT. However modern cars have TONS of electrical connections and electronic circuits that monitor, run actuators, and other things, as well as get feedback information from the transmissions to adjust operations of stability, traction, and yaw control systems. FRS is simpler than most other sports cars today, but even still, modern enough to be equipped with features that aren't exactly basic or easy.
For a race car which will run on minimal electronics, almost no stability assist, and operate the engine on completely stand-alone aftermarket electronics system, it will be easy, as the manual transmission of the FRS/BRZ is fairly straight forward in terms of electronics. But for a completely stock operation intact, the swap will require a ton of electronic swap, and control systems, and is rather complicated for even most qualified tuner shops... Not exactly a drop and go swap like in pre-2000 cars. The problem is not the transmission unit hardware itself. It is mostly in the engine and stability control system, as well as paddle shift, engine ignition retarding management circuits, etc... which all would be missing proper input signals nor provide the expected and compatible signals to function properly.

These parts are needed for sure, and I see no reason to switch your vacuum supply and deleting the pump. good luck Something to consider the parts alone are going to be 3 to 5 k I bought a frs that had a salvage title for about the same. now I can drive either auto or manual
