How Much Work is this: Converter

CAR - is finally up in the air
removed the driveshaft
removed the starter
removed the trans/converter shield
and loosened up most of the trans bolts except for some that seem impossible to get to without removing entire motor w.Trans from car.

i didn't loosen the flex plate bolts before all of this
- will this become an issue?
how to fix if so.
yes/no. The trans will slide out of the converter even if the flex plate bolts are still tightened to the converter. The only issue may be the clearance needed to slide the whole trans backwards and out. you may have to play with the angle and such.

you'll have to have ALL the bell housing bolts out though as well as the crossmember.
