Conversion
After research and many considerations, I am going to convert my car from a 5 speed to a 6 speed transmission. I have found out that all I need to do is change the trans and change out the support Rod and Shift control rod. Wow, hopefully I can find a 6 speed trans at a good price

There is much more to it than just that.
Unless you drive on highways often where you would engage 6th gear, its rather pointless.

May I inquire as to the motivation behind this decision? (genuinely curious)
