Thought I should throw this out there -
If you're transposing from A to Bb, and writing the transposition out, you are not going to just add 5 sharps...You would transpose the key and all notes down a half step. Sharp key scales actually become flat key scales, unless you want to enharmonically realize them, which would generally be a bad idea. For example, F# Major (6 sharps) does not become E# Major, but rather F Major. E Major becomes Eb, not D#. What might be a tad difficult to comprehend at first is sight transposing from key signatures with lots of sharps (or flats for that matter), but as the OP was asking for written out parts, they should not run into this problem.
With all that said, you might just get a program like Finale or Sibelius and input the part, then let the program transpose for you (or you could write it out yourself, given enough time).
