You shouldn't need to modify anything. Pull all the parts from the BII with the 5spd and put them in your driver.

sorry to jump in on your topic but how hard would it be to go from a 5 speed to an automatic?

[carberated85]

well it be bout the same a lil heavier of course but you mmould need to run different coolant lines but the plus would be not worrying bout the clutch reassembly

[myonlyford]

so you would need to swich the radiator(or are the cooler line holes on the radiator just pluged),cooler lines,the flywheel,and all the shift linkage that shouldnt be that hard to change cause it comes up from the same hole.
