Yep, an earlier G-body TH350 crossmember will bolt in, and you can reuse the original driveshaft as Tim mentioned. Since it's an LS it probably only has 3.08 gears (unless the p/o swapped something else instead) and you could use the 3-speed auto without too much damage to your fuel mileage. FWIW, you should be able to find running/driveable G-bodies for around $1K, so if the guy won't sell you this car for $500-700, keep looking.
