Transmission swap

I'm wanting to do a ZF 5speed in a 96 bronco where an automatic has been? I'm not worried about the mechanics of it,it's the computer that bothers me...I have searched and can't find a solution to the computer problems it would cause. Any one have any ideas,or can point me in the direction of a thread that would help? thanks

It worked for my 91 silver ann bronco. Left the wires taped up underneath, and run the harness for the manual tranny up to the fender connector(s) Dont forget the wiring!
