first would be the most common, the transmission itself, im not sure but i would have to suggest looking at the

drive shaft
flywheel
starter
clutch pedal
clutch cylinder
clutch disk
pressure plate
throwout bearing
clutch lines

also the radiator you have now has ports for the transmission fluid to cool
shouldn't be too big of a deal

i've never swapped a thunderbird before but after i get mine up and running if i get it i'll be more than happy to make a detailed swap

Maybe, a 5 speed center console top.
He will also need a 5 speed shifter & a custom tune for the computer.

The hardest parts to find will be the
Super Coupe/XR7 clutch pedal arm assembly & the console top.

Yea, and he most likely won't find one. There was a guy selling just the console top on tccoa for like $350. He'll also need the console itself, as the cutout for the e-brake dives downward into the console.
