I installed a 1988 700R4 in my truck recently using the stock crossmember and a stock two-bolt mount. I had to slide the crossmember back a few inches, and had to drill new mounting holes in the upper and lower portions of the chassis. I ended up trimming about 3/8" off the front edge of the crossmember to allow a deep pan to fit. The older 700R4 tailshaft housings have the mount location farther back which is nice because it gets the crossmember away from the pan.

Here's an earlier post about the driveshaft and tailshaft housing:
