In the converter? That would be correct. You will also need to change your TPS and Brake switch.

Im not worried about any of the wiring yet, my main question is how do I get the torque converter to seat properly on the tranny so its ready to bolt up?

The trick with the TQ is to match up its notches. Put it into the tranny and line up the notches you will feel when it goes in correctly. Also as far a fluid is concerned i wouldnt worry about filling it, no need to add more weight as long as you dont drive it instantly. I have always installed it and then put it 4 quarts start the jeep put it in nuetral and add as needed slowly.
