Would this gain me any horsepower? I know that an automatic transmission sucks more horse from the wheels because it has more moving parts, so swapping in a manual transmission should show some gains right? How much horse ya think though?

get a shift kit and a performance torque converter and it will be as efficient as a 5spd and shift harder and faster.

who makes a shift kit and torque converter for our cars?
Well, B&E will make a torque converter for the car if you want. You can fill out the form on their website to get a custom torque converter made, but you need many dementions which is why I decided not to go for that option. And where did you find a shift kit? Most I see are for older cars.
95 Toyota Celica GTDead for now --> Soon to have a 3S-GTE02 WRX --> This is for speed- Borla Exhaust- TurboXS BOV- Custom CAI02 Civic EX- MB Quart Reference 5.25" Components- Rockford MTX 8" Subs in the doors- Alpine Type S Rear Fills- 2x Alpine SWR-1042D Subs in a custom fiberglass box- Alpine F345 Amp for the front doors- Alpine M605 on each Type R- Phoenix Gold wiring- Alpine CDA-9855 Head Unit- Alpine Amp link- 2x Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Caps- The best Viper 791 alarm install ever
ok if you do the auto/manny swap you wont gain more power at the crank but you might feel it different at the wheels because you will probably shift at higher rpms than the auto tranny does.
What's a shift kit going to do for me? What is it?

level 10 makes shift kits and performance torque converters for all toyota auto trannies
http://www.levelten.com/
a shift kit replaces the valve bodies in the tranny with bigger ones and therefore allows it to shift much more quickly. and simply adding a performance torque converter shaves about 1/2 a second of your ET. with those two things, the car will shift faster than most people can in a 5spd.
