The Torque converter is bolted to the fly wheel, when removing the transmission or engine these bolts have to be removed. Note the Torque converter is part of the transmission and should be removed with it.
Not sure if it varies depending on layout but the classic rear wheel drive transmission can be withdrawn leaving the torque converter behind but this is rather messy and risks damaging the tranny front oil seal. Refitting is best done with the torque converter in the housing and engaged in the oil pump.
