91 Camaro RS LS Swap needing an idea on torque arm setup

Ok, I’m sure this has been talked to death, but I bought another Camaro today just like my Pro Mod 87 I had, same color and all, the issue I’m having is when I bought my Pro Mod car I had a whole bunch of stuff done to it and have had 4 back surgeries since then so I can’t exactly remember how I had the Torque Arm set up. Currently my new car doesn’t have a engine or trans, but it has the factory crossmember, and Torque Arm, but the egg head that sold it to me ended up keeping the trans and didn’t take the torque arm setup off. I’ve been looking at a couple of the ones that are built into a whole new crossmember, and I honestly think that’s how my old one was but almost everything on my old one was Hotchkiss. So it would have to be one of them things that wouldn’t really matter what trans I was putting in to it, because I likely won’t go over a 4L60E, or even TH400. So those are really the only factors I’m aggravated at because instead of the old guy loading it up with my brother he decided to chit chat the whole time and while we got all new parts, paint for the whole car, and a bunch of other stuff the Torque Arm bolts, Torque Arm bushing, and the crossmember bolts were missing. So what’s everyone else’s setups?
