auto to manual swap

so doing a auto to manual trans swap on an r50 as far as parts and labor goes I'm aware of what I'm getting myself into and I'm aware that I would have to to the ECU reprogrammed but at the same time I wonder if I could take the ECU from the donor car that's already set up to accept the manual trans?

If you did that would you have to have to have all of your car's registered devices coded to the new ECU?
