I was waiting for someone with a little more experience with the old cars to chime in. I'll give my two cents since everyone else seems to be busy. If your car had the twin dizzy's you should have the old rear plate. I don't believe your transmission will bolt up to the engine, but I could be wrong, you'll have to look close. The only other course I can see (as you don't want to go manual) is to find an auto trans from the newer engines which should bolt up to your 84 12A. The flywheel is a two piece unit, a counterweight (you'll need the right one for the 84 12A), and the flexplate, which I believe bolts to the counterweight. If you try to run it with the wrong counterweight it will self destruct from imbalance. Best bet would be to get the trans and counterweight from an 84 12A car (or equivalent). Like I said, I don't have a lot of experience with the early cars, but this is how most were set up.
