Automatic Motor Swap Help!

The 2.8 V6 out of my 88' died recently so I'm looking for a new one. Chances are, it's gonna be a motor from a automatic car, while mine is a factory manual. To mate the motor what will I need to change? I'm fairly new to mechanics so try to bear with me please

Put your flywheel on the other motor in place of the flex plate.

That's it.

Is that really it? I was honestly expecting it to be far far worse!

Nope. Pretty simple actually. After all, it's a Chevy.
