Firewall - is basicly the same on RHD / LHD cars. All you do - is just weld up few holes / cut new holes. I did this - so i know. On the newer Toyota's - you need to change it in WHOLE - but on AE86 - its the same thing.
You will need - whole heater core with blower motor and etc. Dash. Under dash - metal support bar. Heater control - you can use RHD one - but it will be reversed. Wiring - you will need to rework existing RHD wiring to fit under LHD dash / firewall and etc. You will need to extend few wires and etc. As far as i saw - under dash wiring just flips over and its done. Engine wiring will need to be extended. LHD steering gear will be needed. No you CAN NOT use RHD steering gear. The main thing - is that the main subframe - on wich steering gear mounts is different. Actually - the subframe it self is the same - the only difference is mounts for the steering gear - so either you will need to modifie them - or you will need to find LHD subframe. There are few small things to keep in mind like RHD mirrors will not show enouth angle while you will be siting on the Left - so LHD mirrors are needed. Trunk / gas door cables / handle is needed. Light - RHD is not the best thing to use on LHD road Turn signal switch - you will need one from LHD car. Thats all i guess..
