Computer does not need to be changed.  In fact, you're best off if you can put an A9L from a manual car in it.  X-pipe, headers, nothing else needs to be changed.  Here's what you'll need: 
 
AOD transmission 
Torque converter 
Flex plate w/ bolts 
AOD block plate 
dispstick w/ tube 
transmission cooler (or equipped radiator) 
cooler lines 
TV cable (unless full manual valve body) 
shifter w/ cable 
 
The manual computer can stay.  The manual cross member can be modified, and the manual speedometer cable will reach, although its a tight stretch. The manual electrical harness works but you'll need the AOD pigtail that goes from the body harness to the transmission. 
 
You don't even have to change pedal assemblies if you don't want to.  I tucked my clutch cable behind the carpet for more than a year before I finally swapped out pedal assemblies.   
 
BTW: You'll also have to jumper the neutral safety switches for the clutch pedal when you do swap out the pedals.  There's actually two switches that need to go from normally open to normally closed for the shifter park/nuetral function to work properly.
