Torque converter

Hey guys I took out the engine out of my automatic max and I need to swap it to my 5 speed max .. my question is since I have always had manual transmision cars I have never taking out a automatic transmision out and on 95 auto I see the converter but I can't see the bolts to take out the converter .. I'm blind ? (don't answer that).... I seen the bolts on the flywheel on chevy's converters , but I can't seem to see the bolts on the max engine of course i had a few beers and I was tired too .. any help will be greatly appreciated , pictures would be even better .. I try searching but nothing on how to take out the converter .. maybe I just didn't search with the right wording ..

Thanks

the converter just slides off, be-careful re-installing, you need to push and rotate at the same time, till it clicks at least 2-3 times, if you dont you will strip your input shaft in your trans, if youre reffering to the TC to flywheel bolts just crank the engine by hand with a 18mm IIRc socket on a breaker bar till they become visible.

It only slides off once you have the flywheel to torque converter bolts removed.
This how to explains it.
