If you were keeping the current tranny I would say just use your stock towers, but since you are swapping to the auto get some small block v8 towers and mounts. There are 3 holes in the top of the frame for the motor towers. Right now with the I6 towers the 2 rear holes are being used, with the small block towers the front 2 will be used. You will use the stock small block motor mounts that these trucks used, they have three holes that bolt to the engine, and one hole that bolts to the tower. I will get you a link to the mounts and towers so you can see what I'm talking about.
