Default LS Transplant and Cruise Control

Alright all you LS guru's, I need some help. I have a 64 Impala that I am going to restore using an LS engine and electronic automatic transmission, such as an LS1 / 4L60E combo. My question is this, since this is an electronic transmission will I gain the luxury of cruise control also? I'm not sure if the engine ECM (?) controls this or some other computer gizmo in the car. Ididit sells a steering column with optional tilt, and an older lever style switch for both cruise control and delay wipers which I intend to purchase. My whole plan boils down to an older body car with all the newer upgrades and goodies of newer machines. Any help is greatly appreciated. If this isn't the forum to post this, please tell me where and I'll move it. Thanks again everyone, keep up all the good work.

Geo.

There is a cruise control module under the hood, and there is something tied into the rear end (4,3, or 2 channel rear end), so its tied into more then just the transmission. But Im sure that with its possible to make it work.

And you would probable have better luck with a question like this in the conversions and hybrids section. There are a ton of guys that check that section all the time that put LS engines in basically everything out there
