Your car, your choice. This board is about your AMC V8...so if you intend to use an LT-whatever, you might want to find an LT swap board so you'll get the information you can use. Not trying to be rude; in fact, I'm trying to be as helpful as I can.

Continue with the LT1 and 4l60e because even with mounts/integrating wiring/etc. you are more than halfway there and you'll get on the road sooner for less cash.
Then you can examine the 401, see what it needs, round up trans options ( including looking at the 4l60e you currently have ) and use it up the road. Or, you can sell off the rest of the donar stuff ( keeping the 4l60e ) including the LT1 and dig into the 401. Will it be daily driver? Steve
