What problems are there in taking out a C6 from 1972 Mach 1 and installing an AOD transmission?

Sounds neat. Which engine?

I imagine things like

driveshaft length
trans mount location
shifter with extra shift location
flex plate with right bolt up and balance
kick down linkage

Should be very doable

CJ pony parts has a kit for this swap, I think for the 72 too.

Post a pic of your car please

Here is a picture of the car.

Here is a list I have for the parts needed to put an AOD transmission in my Mustang.
Torque Converter - 2200 stall
164T Flex Plate
Kick Down Cable
Transmission Cross Member
Transmission Mount
AOD Shifter Linkage
AOD Slip Yoke
Shorten the Driveshaft
Carburetor Bracket & Spring
Shift Kit
Shifter with overdrive marking (4 speed) or I can use my existing 3 speed shifter and use D for overdriver, second would now be drive, first would be second and I wouldn't real have a first year to shift to.
