If the installer has an "auto partition" button, just select the disk
and click that. I'm sure that will work fine. You still might have to
delete the existing partitions first of course.

Thats fine. A Swap space partition is used by the kernel for virtual
memory, it doesn't hold a regular file system, so It doesn't get mounted
anywhere.
