You cant just drain a converter without taking it out of the car. Which requires taking the tranny out of the car. If the tranny is out of the car then yes. If not then oh well just install the kit and top it off.

and they have to cut the converter open to get it all out as you will never get it all out without doing so. i would just leave it alone.
