It really depends on the LS conversion motor mounts use, as they all seem to have a different engine placement. Fortunately, if you have to modify or build something, the transmission mount is the easiest to build/modify. I'm getting ready to do an L86/8L90 swap in my 84 and am currently researching a complete motor/transmission mount kits. I used the Dirty Dingo setup in the 93 that I'm doing right now and it worked great. However, I haven't been able to get them to return my emails to see if their setup works as well in the Squarebodys. Will report back once I figure it out.
