Hey man ... Welcome aboard !!
The 3speed crossmember supports the bellhousing, essentially the rear of the engine, while the 3-speed just hangs from it. Typically, that rear crossmember is removed when converting to an auto. An auto crossmember will have to be acquired, or one fabbed up.

Re: rookie
Welcome to the forum
 Yes the bellhosing crossmember will need to be removed. Then you will need a crossmember for the rear of the TH350. For that you can use either a factory trans crossmember for a '63-'87 pickup, Suburban or 2wd K5 Blazer, or one of the aftermarket crossmembers. Either way you will have to drill the mounting holes.
