By dropped I guess you mean crapped out? From what other people say the swap isnt too difficult. Time consuming but not hard. If you look under the DIY section someone did a write up on how to do this I believe.

if you have all the parts, I do not imagine it would be all that more difficult than putting a new auto tranny in. Just more time consuming as you need to install everything for the clutch and the manual shifter. You will also need a flywheel from a manual car as well.

I would not install used axles either. While everything is apart it is a good time to have either new CV joints installed OR put in rebuilt axles with new CV joints.. better than having to replace them down the road.
