To be honest, based on your question I would STRONGLY recommend you take your machine to an AASP who can help you. They can not only install the SSD correctly but they can also help install OS X onto it. Before you do ANY upgrade though ensure the system has been backed up 100%, I'd use either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone on an external HD.
The reason I am recommending have a professional do this is because taking apart an iMac is no trivial task and you risk damaging or brickng your computer. If you have a late model machine you can also contact OWC (www.macsales.com) that has a service where they will do this for you. It's the least expensive route but they're extremely professional and only work on Macs.

Install Mac Os X
From what you describe it sounds like you are trying to install Lion on your newly installed HDD replacement but its not showing as a disk when you try to actually install Mac OS X. That indicates to me that the drive has not yet been formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled, so it is not ready for Lion to install onto it. This section of the following article will help you get that drive erased and formatted properly so you can continue with the installation:
