What denominations practice "laying on of hands" so that new converts may receive the Holy Ghost, and what manifestations are usually expected?
score:1
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a faith that practices this.
The church's 4th article of faith states:
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
When Jesus defined His Gospel to the Nephites He included this statement:
20 Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day. (3 Nephi 27:20)
The laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost is one of the essential ordinances of salvation.
All of the gifts/effects described in the OP's linked answer are manifestations within the beliefs of the church (e.g. see Articles of Faith 1:7, Doctrine & Covenants 11:12-13). Another helpful list would be the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5--these are attitudes, behaviors, and effects coming from the Spirit:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
The effects of the Spirit can include a number of outward manifestations (many of which do not come only after receipt of the gift of the Holy Ghost); the more fundamental manifestations are internal (and are processes rather than events), such as:
- The transformation of our fallen nature (see Mosiah 5:2)
- Sanctification (see 3 Nephi 27:20 above)

At the least the Roman Catholic church and the Anglican church practice this. As part of the service of confirmation the bishop lays his hands on the candidate and says "receive the Holy Spirit".
No manifestations are expected at that immediate time.
