Ax-15 to A833 swap

Hey everyone, I need your guys help and expertise. Right now my 73 duster has an AX-15 five speed out of a 93’ dodge dakota and I recently bought a rebuilt a833. My car currently has an LA318 but I am going to put a 340 in the car down road. All the trans came with was the flywheel and the bell housing. My questions are:

1) What will I need in order to put this in my car?

2) Would you guys recommend waiting until the 340 is ready to go in and do the new engine and transmission at the same time, or can I go ahead and swap the transmission now with the 318 still in the car? I would prefer to do the latter if possible since I don’t like the AX15 at all.

Here is a list of what I think I need, and their price:

Non console shifter with good chrome, includes mechanism and linkage with tabs, 399


Pedal push rod, 55


Z bar for V8, 79


Inner Fender reinforcement bracket for manual trans, 35


Manual transmission crossmember, 125


Wiring for manual trans to operate backup lights, 35


Shifter adapter plate, with bolts, 55

Is there some of this stuff that I can forgo, and am I missing anything? Thank you in advance!
