Both 5.7Stroker and Tranzman have posted excellent converter installation instructions. They are very similar of course.
5.7Stroker included more details specific to 4L80E installations with very nice pictures. I would suggest making it clear NOT to tighten the Bell-housing-to-Block bolts until the TC gap is measured and/or making sure the TC spins freely while tightening those bolts.
Perhaps the two of you with my help could work on a "How to install a converter" thread which would become a sticky. Each of you can make posts and I will edit them into one mutually agreeable instruction list.

That's how we did it at the shops I worked for too.
I retired from the trade in 2007 after 35 years in the trenches. I found different work but that didn't last long. In 2011 I started my own bench building service. Now at 66 I am fully retired and people still call and want work done. It's hard to turn down cash for 8-10 hours of work.
