I am by far no expert but have been researching a ls swap myself. I belive you can use the trans you have. You will need a spacer and longer bolts to support the converter properly to the crank. Also one to the bellhousing bolts you will not use, think it's the upper pass. side. I would suggest a different radiator but it my be ok size for cooling depending on were you live and driving style but also check to make sure the inlet/outlets are on the right sides. Hope this helps and If I'm not giving correct info, feel free to correct me guys.
