no, the transmission or related components don't affect engine timing. however, if you allow the engine to tilt back too far, the distributor cap can hit the firewall, on 6 & 8 cylinders. if that happens, then the truck won't run properly. there is the possibility of the distributor getting moved if the locking bolt isn't tight.

How do you get the torque converter on a 1996 sts to slide the last inch or so onto the pump shaft?

You have to turn the torque converter back and forth while pushing in on it. The last thing to engage is the front pump drive lugs. This has to be done before installing the transmission in the car (or bolting it to the engine block) -- the transmission and torque converter are installed as one single assembly after the torque converter is installed into the transmission.
