You need the shifter assembly itself, obviously. Then you'll need the floor mounting brackets, and the shifter cable, the rubber dust boot, dust whiskers which lays into the metal tray that the rubber dust boot is glued to, the top plate and the 4 top plate screws, and you'll also need to cut up the console insert to mount the shifter through. You also need to take out the shift indicator light bulb at least or the lamp wiring (your call) as you'll no longer need it. Once you cut it, there's no going back.
The 86 has no provision in the tach for the shift indicator needle like the 83/84 H/O's used. This was because at night, there was no lit indicator to see which gear you would be in. Thus, they put it in the gages.

Forgot to mention- you will also need the L/R cable transmission end cable bracket that bolts to the bottom pan of the transmission.
Take a look at this thread (link below). There are diagrams and such there showing what you need to do somewhat, and I've listed part numbers you would need to get. It tells you how and where to cut the carpet, but it doesn't tell you exactly what you need to do to cut the console insert.
