Default Torque converter installation procedure

Can anyone give me a procedure on installing a torque converter in a C5? I had it done the first time because I had no time off to do it. I have the time now and the new Yank SS3200 is coming in this week. Thanks!

Does the torque tube have to be diconnected from the motor? It looks like you can lower the drivetrain enough to pull the tranny off the torque tube. May be wrong, though.
