Default Just got a 6L80 but need some help

I just picked up a 10k mile 6L80 from an awd Denali. It has the transfer case still attached too, but I was wondering if anyone knows what I need to convert to a 2wd truck. Im sure I'll need a tailshaft housing and a new driveshaft, along with the proper column shifter assembly. But Im wondering whether or not the existing output shaft will work. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Bump was a good idea.

I am pretty sure you have to swap output shafts like the 4l60/80.

Output shafts are different between the two.
