Not that straight forward, and for what you gain in most circumstances not probably not worth it and things have moved on.
On the early manifold you need to ideally have the TB welded to the front side and the existing blanked of leaning the manifold in the original position, finding a good alloy welder to do this won’t be cheap.
Then you have to deal with the relocation of the Air con etc.
As said it’s a lot to do for very little gain, if he is going the full hog then its worth considering once everything else is done.

Easy, get a plate welded on to the other side of the manifold, and blank the TB entry off.
Air con has to be removed if fitted as the alternator needs to go to the side that the air con was as standard. power steering stays where it is. hardest thing is to get the throttle cable position right.
Every little helps.

Intercooler pipe work was used from the original FMIC pipework I had. I just cut it where I wanted it then got the same local engineering firm to weld together. All in its cost me around £120

Planning on doing this within the next year as part of a large upgrade project...
I think if you buy a phase 1.5 inlet manifold (like off a Sti V3) you can reverse it, and only have to grind off some dowels underneath it?

phase 1.5 is easiest to rotate.. the throttle body gets near the bonnet on phase 1 and 2.
The only issue on the 1.5 is the idle valve clashing with power steering / inlet pipe depending on set up.
