Its not that hard to unbolt the converter. Remove the starter and through that whole you can unbolt the coverter. Peace of cake and its only 4 bolts.

not only that but you WILL destroy your transmission trying to put the trans back in with the converter still bolted up. Not might...WILL. Do it right...take the starter out and remove the converter bolts. Rotate the engine with a big socket on the crank bolt to get each of the 3 bolts one at a time.
