Is the engine already removed from the vehicle? Either way, to unbolt the converter from the flywheel, you need to remove the rubber plug on the right hand side of the engine bellhousing, then rotate the flywheel until you can access a bolt through the hole in the bellhousing.

On reinstall, install the torque converter on the transmission, replace engine, and then bolt the two together.

You'll want to make sure the torque converter is fully seated, and engaged into the pump, or you might break the pump in the transmission.

The torque converter bolts to the flywheel.
You need to unbolt it.
Install the torque converter first, then the engine, then bolt the 2 together.

Yes, this is correct. Also, now would be a good time to change the front pump seal on the transmission. Fill the converter before reinstall. I remember it being rather a bear to get the full torque converter lined up on the transmission when I did this job years ago.
