G35 Rear End Question

G35 Rear End Question
We have an 05 G35 automatic, what would it take to drop in the Rear End from the Manual?
Is it possible, if so, what exactly do I need to purchase to make the swap?
I've done searches, and for some reason I have been unable to find anything regarding the swapping the rear end. I have found many posts on various forums regarding the differences, but nothing about whether the swap is possible, and what is needed.
I have seen pictures, and the housing (pumpkins) themselves look very similar, and I was thinking it might be as simple as buying the Manual Pumpkin from a 350z Manual and throwing it in, but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks for input!

OP ignore this guy^^ (lolol just kidding J)
It's super easy to swap the pumpkins but not a DIY job in your driveway on ramps unless you enjoy working in tight spaces with a very heavy object. I did the swap and loved the results. Yes highway driving gets less MPG, I lost about 2, but everyday driving is so much more fun. Better grunt down low and driveability is more sporty. The G doesn't get driven much on the freeway any more so that's become a non-issue for us.
