Clutch and brake pedals both need to be changed.

As to electronics just the TPS needs to be changed to install a stick vs an AW-4. No feedback required to the ECU to help control the AW-4 any longer so that is the reason for the stick version of the TPS.

Actually i think you would need the whole drive train up to the diff ratios.
That means flywheel, clutch, clutch pedal, master and slave cylinders, brake pedal, stick mount, bell housing, gearbox, tail extention, mounts, drive shafts (both), rings and pinions (if the ratio is different), a ton of bolts and depending on what model of transfer case you have you might need that one as well.
