Removing a A340H Auto Transmission 95 4runner

My son and I are removing the transmission from a 95 4runner and almost have it out. its separated from the motor about 6 inches. Does the torque converter have to come out with the tranny or will it stay on the flywheel? There are some electrical connections that still need to be disconnected but dont seem tight enough to keep the tranny from dropping down where we can disconnect those. Do we need to slide it back in and take out the converter bolts from the flywheel for it to drop?

This is our first attempt at dropping a tranny so be nice. Thanks in advance.

unbolt the convertor from the flexplate, remove trans and convertor as one.
6 bolts accessed from the front of the flexplate

Thanks man. We got it once we removed those bolts and the throttle cable. Can anyone tell me if the torque converter is supposed to rattle when shook?
