At the minimum:
Modified Bellhousing
New clutch disk
Throwout bearing reducer
T5 transmission
Change drive shaft length - probably shorten.
cut a hole in the floor for the shifter
Shifter boot

May need:
Diaphragm clutch
Truck/mustang hybrid throwout bearing.
Shifter and handle.
crossmember

I think that's it.

Update 05/28/09:

Depending on the application from which the transmission was taken, a different pilot bearing may be required. See the following thread.

Update 12/23/09:

A more DIY approach.

Update 07/24/10

More people have done this conversion now, and it looks like the problem I was having with using the stock throwout bearing has to do with T5s equipped with a steel bearing retainer for the input shaft. The forging (or casting?) protrudes a fair bit further than the aluminum retainer and does not allow any clearance for the length of the stock bearing. If your input bearing retainer looks like this you will not be able to use the stock bearing and pressure plate:



This requires the use of a special throwout bearing and a completely different clutch than stock.
