recently did this one myself...
as for the manifolds i'm pretty sure you will need a torana one for the passenger side, but i had extractors so yeah.
the linkages depends on what your traumatic is out of. torana shift linkages are on the drivers side, but commodore shifters are on the passenger. have a look before you throw the box in. if the shift on the box is the opposite to the car, the shifter can be rebuilt back to front and the problem is easily solved.
if your going from 202 auto you will probably need to take the white gear off the end of the speedo cable and replace it with a "blue" one? thats what i did but mine was a commodore box. have a look inside the cable seat and see what colour the speedo gear is in the box. mine was blue so i used blue on the cable as well.
cheers.

i have a pair of LH v8 stock exhuast headers that i will part with 
speedo and shifter will 100% fit, the v8 trimatics are bacically identical to the 6 externally. both have same final 1:1 ratio so cog colour wont need to be changed
