you can live without the computer if you can't get one, or afford it, I ran my T-5 conversion for almost a year before I got off my lazy butt and swapped in the computer. You will also need the shifter trim for the console, and you should grab the short wiring harness that goes to the trnasmission so you have all the right hookups for your speedo and reverse lights.

pay particular attention to the geqar for the speedo - my tc was converted but the old gear was used so now my speed is alway about 8 mph over what is should be....
