What type of tranny is it? I would replace the front seal while you have it out. The weight of the torque converter sitting in it tends to make it a leaker when you put it back in.

Look on the torque convertor, there should be a plug on it, so you can drain all the fluid out. It's tough to get it all out of the shaft hole. Make a note, this drain is also how you drain the whole thing when it's installed in the truck. Note #2, very important; When you put it back together, make sure one of the large open holes on the flywheel/flexplate goes over the drain plug, so the flexplate doesn't hit the plug and bend it when you are putting it all back together. I would mark the torque converter and the flexplate with alignment marks to help you out when it's all going back together.
