Auto to Manual seatbelts?

First off, I would like to say that I absolutely HATE the automatic seatbelts. Not because I don't like wearing them, just because they are a pain cause they open and close on you so much.

I'm trying to figure what parts I need to swap it out.
So far I have:
A-Pillar Plastic
Seatbelts
Seatbelt Latch

Would I have to change out any electrical things?
Does the lap belt connect the same way as the auto lap belt? (from the bottom side, under the carpet through that little plastic doo-hickey)

My seat belt is almost frayed in half, so thats a saftey issue.

If anyone could help me out on this, it would be great!

    Goto the junkyard & see if you can swap them.

    I know I can do that, but I would like to know:

    Also, could you guys think of any electrical sensors I would have to mess with?

    The only thing I can think of is that beeper than beeps when the shoulder belt comes undone, but I think I could be able to move that sensor down to where the manual seatbelt buckles.

    So, could anyone help me out here? Pictures maybe?

    Thanks!

    The b-pillar looks like it's a different inner metal panel. It doesn't have the right bolt holes for the manual belt stuff.

    Also, the seat belt buckle looks like it bolts to the exhaust tunnel in the manual version, and in the auto it's part of the seat bracket thingy.
