Do I need a different crossmember?

Installing the t5 in place of the aod.
Am I going to need a new crossmember (instead of the one used with the aod)?
The checklist I have doesn't show one, so I'm not sure.

I have everything else I need or I hope. (Found all the info from searching)

Pretty sure that you will. You may be able to mod the aod's crossmember but why chance it. Pick it up for cheap from a junkyard.

if your car has never been hit i am sure it will work but the trans mount bolts will be tight agains the one side of the slots but i have done it many times without a problem and no modification

after doing the t5 swap, the AOD xmember doesnt need any modifications, it bolts right up well to the t5.

I'm sure you can get away with the AOD, but the T-5 member is probably a little better fit, plus if you ever want to run longtube headers the T-5 member is a much better choice. Yes yes I know some companies make longtubes for the auto, but the choices are far greater with the manual and with the proper crossmember
