It shoudn't make a mess provided you unbolt the converter from the flexplate
first. Pull the starter as well. If the converter stays seated in the transmission,
no problem. Some people bolt a strap across the front of the trans made from
some flat steel stock after separating the engine and trans just to make sure
the converter doesn't slip out if the front of the trans gets tilted downwards.
But if you keep the front of the trans supported when you separate it from
the engine, the converter will usually stay put.
