Flat-O Products has a C4-to-Y-block conversion kit. Installing an AOD is more complicated and requires notching the frame for clearance, but overdrive is preferable if you retain the stock 3.31 rear gears or go with a numerically higher ratio. You can also convert to a T-5 manual transmission/w overdrive or OEM manual 3-speed/w overdrive. I haven't owned a manual car since the 90s and have gotten used to not shifting. Manuals are more fun, until you get stuck in traffic or live in San Francisco.
