Its possible. You will have a bit of work to do.

I know its been covered in this forum, just search the forum to get an idea of what parts you will need.

With such an old accord, it may be cheaper to buy one that is a manual transmission.

If you have the whole other car (with manual) you're in a better position than most of us, to compare. Look at how the engine mounts compare. Look at how the gearshift lever & surrounding stuff compares. Look to see what you have to do to mount the clutch pedal, etc...

Or put your engine into the other Accord? Which body is in better shape?

I was about to say the same thing... It would probably be far easier to swap the engine into the manual trans accord. To do a trans swap, there will be custom fab work to do. You'll have to figure out how to mount a clutch master cylinder, etc..
