B&M (and probably others) makes a lock up control unit to work with your setup. From what I remember all you have to hook up to is a power source and the brake switch (so it unlocks when you hit the brakes). The other wires hook to the trans and control unit.
To keep the RPMs down use a lock up converter. Lock up converters have a clutch plate inside them that locks them up and removes the slip. If you don't, it will slip up to around the converter stall speed until you are over the stall speed.
I would look for a lock up converter in the 2500-3000 RPM range.
