I have a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9 ltr auto with the A4LD tranny. I also have the push button 4x4 selector in the roof of the truck. I have the tranny shifter in the floor.
I would like to change from an auto tranny and push button transfer case to a manual transmission and a manual transfer case and manual hubs.
I have searched all sites and it is still not entirely clear to me even though this has been asked before; what exactly is everything I need to make this conversion. Could someone provide me with a list so that I don't leave anything out? And maybe some do's, don'ts, and things that I should make sure of.

if you can find a donor truck with a blown 2.9 buy that truck and swap your 2.9 into it. otherwise you are looking at a whole lot of work for not a lot of gain. Your 87 does look sweet, so it may be fairly hard to find a truck that is in that good of condition, but you are asking for a nightmare... but the donor truck will have all you need, transmission, transfer case, and hopefully good condition interior parts to replace the ones you won't need to use anymore after the swap so that you don't have holes in the dash or ceiling console.

good luck. you can also use a B2 for a parts vehicle but those are probably getting harder to find in any condition...
