Just did a Trany swap. we put an 85 Trany in my 87. There is a differance!
the hose holder on top must be changed, the thing that looks like a close
hanger. We realized this after we got it in. Then I broke the bracket trying
to get it off.

It was hard finding a used cheap Trany. After much searching I bought a
whole van that need work. Now I have extra parts.
