It will bolt up fine, but the 89 lebaron trans is likely to take a different shifter plane setup and the axle splines will be different, unless the van is a late 85 and has the bigger axles from a 86. The most common tranny for the van would be an A520 and the lebaron would be a A555 or A523. There is a tag on the bellhousing of each trans that will have these or similar numbers on it.

Type of tranny fluid I have no owners manual

All Chrysler products (dodge caravan) require "atf +"
in your case being a 2003 that should be type ATF+3
I would recommend using ATF+4 as a just in case measure as it will be perfectly compatability with (and better than) ATF+3 if that's what is currently installed.
The Trans in the 03 caravan takes 11 total quarts. This includes torque converter. If you are doing a simple fluid and filter change than start w with 5 quarts as will still be full. Absolutely under NO circumstances use dextron/mercon (gm) OR ATF type F (ford). Hope this helps.

Will valvoline dex/merc transmission fluid work for my dodge grand caravan? Does the caravan require dextron III/ mercon

Probably isn't a good idea to run regular ATF. Most chrysler products including your Caravan require ATF +4 or equiv. Typically it is more expensive than regular Atf. Most auto parts stores will stock this.

I got a 1999 doegw caravan 4 cyl where is the shift solenoid located in the tranny or on the tranny

What kind of problem do you have? If it is a 4 cylinder caravan, they usually have a 3 speed auto that doesn't have any shift solenoids. If it does have the 4 speed auto, the shift solenoids are on the front of the transmission case.

2001 Dodge Caravan Transmission Question.

IF your van is front wheel drive only, the transmission is indeed a 3 speed A413. If your van is all wheel drive, your transmission is a 4 speed A604. Capacity is 4 quarts or so.
