There is a small access panel underneath that you must remove first in order to access the torque converter bolts. The panel is very small so a socket and wrench should be used. Bolts should be 17MM. Good luck!
Remove the driveshaft from the back of your Chevy transmission. Remove the transmission mount retaining bolts. Remove the retaining bolts from the Bell housing. The transmission can then slide backwards. Don't forget to unbolt the torque converter from the flex-plate and remove the torque converter with the transmission.
Remove the starter and remove the protector places behind the started
Bell housing bolts and the torque converter bolts.
After you have removed the cover from the lower half of the torque converter housing and driveplate you can remove the four bolts that secure the torque converter to the driveplate. Remove them one at a time by rotating the engine so that each bolt comes into view at the bottom where you have removed the driveplate cover.

You need to remove the lower transmission inspection cover.
On the torque converter. Do a Google search and read about torque converters.
remove the transmission and torque converter. Remove the bolts from the pump (front of transmission case) and remove the pump.
You have to pull the stater and grind a space in the adaptor for a socket to clear to the torque convertor bolts.
The Torque Converter is part of the transmission, not part of the engine. The torque converter needs to come off with the transmission. You need to remove the starter to access the torque converter bolts/nuts and separate it from the flex plate. Besides loosing all of the fluid in the torque converter, you stand to damage converter seals and/or the pump if the converter isn't properly installed in the transmission.
It is between the front of the transmission and the back of the engine block. It slides over a shaft and into the pump on the front of the transmission. Before you remove the transmission to service the torque converter you must remove the 3 bolts that hold the converter to the FLY-WHEEL.
