r50 cvt to manual conversion

Hi guys. I want to convert a 2003 r50 CVT to a manual trans. I'm parting out a rusty 2003 manual car with good mechanicals. The CVT car has the chronos package which I like, but no cruise, which I really want. IIRC many have struggled to get cruise to work when doing this conversion. I'm thinking a work around would be to use the complete manual steering column and wheel, engine harness, ecu, engine mounts, pedals, and door locks, and maybe the BCM? Would that work correctly w/o having to reprogram anything?
Thanks for any input, Ron
