Default 4L80E swap question regarding flexplate

Ok im pulling my hair out now.
I have a 4L80E out of a 1993 Suburban and i am using the stock verter out of that suburban.
I picked up a 6.0L FLat FLexplate from the scrappers.
I also have a GM spacer from when i had the 700R4 in the car.

NOw, looking at this flexplate, it looks like there already is a spacer in it. It is inserted from the engine side through the flexplate. And it looks identical to the spacer i already have but i cant push this spacer out of the flexplate.
So my question is do i install the flexplate with this factory spacer and then put my spacer on too?
Or can i eliminate the use of the second spacer?
I never realized there was a spacer already in this flexplate until i went to do the swap.

Help, i wanna get this trans in!

The 4L80 flexplate can have the spacer pressed into it, pre assembled so to speak. If that is the case then you do not need to use another spacer. Can you take some pics of it?

Chris. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Just have to fab up a new trans crossmember and shorten the d-shaft.

I will be talking with you regarding a converter.

Thanks again.
Scotty.
