Change from auto to manual?

Not sure how to put the subject for my problem.

The engine in my 1986 G-Wagen 230GE is dead and I am after an economic fix.

Can anybody advise on what is needed to fit flywheel and clutch to an engine from an automatic car, so that it will fit a manual gearbox?

There are lots of used Mercedes cars but all automatics. I hope to buy the car, take out the engine to put in my G and junk the rest - heartless I know, but cheaper than getting my own engine rebuilt.
I am looking at W124 & W124 280, 300 etc. The same engines were used in G-Wagen at that time so I know the engine will fit - it's getting the clutch that I am not sure about.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Founs a W124 230TE donor vehicle, so just the oily bits to do now.
