Parts for a 700R4 swap?

Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything when I go on a parts run tomorrow. I'm swapping a 700R4 into my truck.

I'm going to need:
*TV cable, and a bracket for a Quadrajet (are there any in particular that wouldn't need much/any fabbing?)
*Flexplate to torque converter bolts (metric, right?)
*Dipstick
*Tranny fluid (synthetic, of course, heh) (gotta call the place and find out if theirs come filled or not...)

Hmm...is that it? My truck was converted from a 3-on-the-tree to a THM400, so the crossmember is already bolted in rather than riveted, and I've heard it should line up perfectly if I flip it backwards...I'll need to get the driveshaft shortened, but that's not really something I can do on a parts run using the truck, lol...

One of my friends is getting the wiring for his torque converter lockup from the place that wired his in drawn up...anyone have any diagrams for this for comparison, and so I know what I'll probably have to get?

Ooooh, gotta get a tranny cooler too...anything else I'm forgetting? I want to have it done this time next week. Aggressive, maybe.
