The torque arm will work. I'm a little fuzzy on whether or not the V6 4L60E will fit on an LS type engine. I'm pretty sure the bell housing will have to be changed, which probably rules out the '95-earlier trannies.
I did look into this a couple of years ago (had an extra LQ4 laying around at the time). Like I said I'm a little fuzzy on all the details, but I do remember my conclusion was I needed to find a '98-up V8 transmission (which I never did, and traded the LQ4 for some headers).

Re: v6 4l60le?
Swapping the bellhousing and converter will get it to bolt up, but the guts are still weaker. LS1tech has some good info on them in the auto trans forum
