The stock auto in my car is on its last legs since my last mods. Was wondering if anyone has done the conversion or has any idea what I would be looking at cost wise to convert to a 5spd man. Also would the cruise control still work with the manual etc ?

Should still work, but you have to remember that the cruise control doesn't know about clutches... You either have to remember to only use the cruise control when you aren't going to be changing gears (ie really cruising on the open road), or add a switch to the clutch pedal to disable the cruise control when you put the clutch in. You can imagine what happens if you put the clutch in with the cruise control engaged; car is at part throttle, car marginally slows down, cc puts in more throttle to maintain speed when the engine doesn't have a load on etc etc...
FWIW I never bothered with a clutch switch on my Alfa 33 TI which I fitted cc to (the standard pedal position is so bad it was almost impossible to drive long distances without it); just had to be careful
