Replacing A 4L60E

Hi guys I'm replacing a 4L60E on my brothers 96 chevy blazer. I had a few questions. I been researching every where on the net for tips. I had to take the tranny out and put it back in 3 times already just to triple check everything.

Anyways my questions:
1.) If I'm replacing the same tranny as the old one there should be no need for spacers between the torque converter to the driveplate I'm assuming, is this correct?

because I read a few installation guides saying to add washers if the dimensions between the torque converter are to far apart. Which In my case I don't think they are but I'm just being cautious.

2.)I didn't add a quart of Tranny fluid in the converter but when I pushed it side to side and back and forth I heard fluid inside can I get away with this?

3.) I'm confused on how much Tranny fluid is to add since the book has 2 different amounts. Book says capacity 12qt's and under it says 5qts or 5 1/2 qts how much should I put to start?

4.) last question is when I seated the torque converter I made sure it was seated all the way hearing 2 clunks while turning it. Somehow it feels like something is not right because it turns freely but It's like I can feel something in the back of the torque converter rubbing while I turn it, has anyone delt with something like that before? keep in mind when I did this the tranny was on a jack and it was tilting downwards to the ground ass end of it.

Any help would be great thank you AF...
