There are 2 usual 5 speeds for the swap. The long 280z/zx, truck and the short dogleg from the first gen 200sx. you will find the former more common and a stronger transmission but the driveshaft will need shortening where the dogleg does not.

 

You will also need a set of clutch and brake peddles, a clutch master, hard line and flex line, slave cylinder, slave push rod. The transmission may come with the clutch arm but if not you will need one of these, a 200mm release bearing collar to match the stock 200mm clutch, a new release bearing, a 200mm clutch/pressure plate, pilot bushing for the crank.

 

I wouldn't worry about the trans mount until you have decided which transmission you want or is available.
