No special tools for most years of a Bodies.
You will need a floor shift steering column (you can keep your existing column and just remove the shifter lever and the P R N D 2 1 indicator)
Then you will need to buy the floor shift parts and linkages from the trans to the shifter
You don't have to but if you choose to have a center console you will need all those parts as well.
If you choose to go without the console you will need to fabricate a cover and indicator
You will need what ever body brackets that are needed to mount the auto shifter to the hump.
Might be worth finding a donor car to get all the needed parts
I'm sure there are aftermarket auto shifters
