If you install a different stall speed converter, you will have to have the PCM tuned to have the transmision shift properly.

Did not know the module that connects to the upper arm had to stay. Can be easily put back on.

Thats why I am a fan of removing the entire RPO and not having to worry about ALL of the system components working properly.

I used HP Tuners to adjust the shift points, pressures, and TC lockup points....It took a few tries, but I love how it performs....errr...performed!
Good luck with the swap!

Fortunately I have a friend with a Tech2 that can clear things up and I don't think I need to be going over 80 until I can get together with him. There are so many warnings though!
