If you install a non lockup tc you should modify the pump. There is a kit made by transgo to modify the cooler flow for this application.

Without a lockup TCC you run the risk of overheating your transmission. One of the things a locking clutch does for the 4L60E is keep the fluid temps down by mostly eliminating slippage (which is what torque converters do).

I wouldn't run a non-lockup converter without a really good transmission cooler.
