AW71 to AW72L Swap in 1990 780 700 1990

I have a 1990 780 w/ B230Ft with a badly slipping AW71.

Someone is selling me a AW72L & is helping me install it.

My question is what do I need to know before I do the swap? I know in principle what to do, but I've never done it.

Also, what do I need to know about the AW72L (other than the lockup feature) in comparison to my AW71?

I know the gear ratios are different, but what else should I be aware of?
