I have experience with this, I swapped out my auto to a 5spd in my 91 prelude. If you don't have alot of automotive experience, then you should really try to do this yourself. Also, be prepared to have your car out of commission for a couple of days. It took me 2 days to complete this, but I was prepared and had done the research.
These are some things that you will need...
Jack with jackstands...you'll need to figure out if you're gonna remove the auto tranny from above or below the car, so you might want a cherry picker as well. The auto tranny weighs a hell of alot more than the 5spd
5spd tranny w/starter
shift cable linkages
shifter
master cylinder
slave cylinder
lower clutch line
clutch pressure regulator
clutch pedal set
tranny mounts...you would need a rear 5spd tranny mount as the autos dont have one.
shifter cable bracket
clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing.
flywheel w/flywheel bolts
You might need a 5spd halfshaft (intermediate shaft) but i'm not sure with your generation accord...
you will also need a new lower radiator hose, they are different lengths. You need to relocate the battery ground wire, and get a new heater core return hose.
I also had to drill through the frame, because the auto tranny mounts differently than the 5spd. It's not a big deal, the location of where you need to drill is right next to the auto holes. You will need 4 grade 8 bolts and nuts.
In order to get the pedals in, you will need to unbolt the steering shaft and drop it down from the dash....idk if im forgetting something....
You'll need lots of time and patience, you should do a lot of research before doing this swap. Good luck!

Honestly unless this is some special Accord sell it and buy a manual car.
