No. No, no no. Automatic to manual swaps are a sinch in Honda's. All the transmission mounts for a manual are preinstalled on automatics. Automatic Hondas are predrilled for a clutch pedal. You can do a conversion for probably less than $400 worth of parts if you already have a manual transmission coming with the car.
I did an automatic to manual conversion on my buddy's '89 CRX. Cost him $550, I got it done in two days.
No reason whatsoever to sell the car.
