If your new tranny's bellhousing does not have the same cut-out as the old tranny's bellhousing, then you need to swap bellhousings. The bolts are behind the torque converter, so you would have to pull the TC off. You would probably want to have a new TC shaft seal handy before you go and do that.

Alternatively, you could try cutting out a hole in the new bellhousing. While I haven't personally tried that (and never would), it seems possible.

As for the flywheel (a.k.a ring gear) orientation, there is info and a picture in the FAQ. Take a look here:

Good luck.
