You should be able to use any aftermarket flexplate for an LSx and the trans should bolt right up to it. Get a good flexplate, maybe even look into an SFI rated one.

You need the spacer or a specially made converter to bolt the 700R4 to the LS1.
The crank pilot on a regular 700 converter is too short. The spacer will take up the space and will be the cheaper way to go. Or you can get a 700 converter made with a longer crank pilot.

The 700R4 is the same size as the 4L60E so the cross member bolts right up.
For the spacer someone has a link, GM and many others sell these, they are factory stock on certain vehicles.
