If you have all the parts it only requires some labor. You need the tranny, it's mounts, axles, shifter cables, and shifter mechanism, with new console surround, shifter, and knob, don't forget the master and slave cylinders for the clutch and the clutch line. You will also need a clutch pedal and probably a new flywheel, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Then you need to drop out the old tranny and swap out the parts. Someone with ambition could probably turn it around in a weekend. There also is some wiring involved if I remember correctly.

I have not done this myself and Im just listing what is involved.
