The pan I want to use to catch the old fluid is wide enough so I don't make a mess, but doesn't hold all that much fluid. I wish the stock pan just came with a drain plug.
For the torque converter I have an old bucket that will do the job. Any tips for accessing that plug? It's just above the circular rubber cover, right?

I just changed the fluid on my 1991 F150 w/E40D last weekend. The torque converter held about 8 quarts and took the better part of 20-30 minutes to completely drain. Tried using the starter to line up the TC drain plug, but found it easier and faster to turn the crankshaft using a breaker bar in one hand and using the other hand to feel for the drain plug until it lined up.

I got out 15 quarts in total, so the pan, filter, and whatever else drained out through the pan opening was about 7 quarts. I left it all night and it was still dripping a little the next day.

Thanks Robert, your answer will help me out a lot. It's a pain to get the fluids in the 1st place out here in Germany. And disposing of it properly is even more fun.

Where I live (near Salem Oregon), all the auto parts stores will accept used oil. Would you believe that it's also included in our curbside recycling program? Yep, a truck comes around every two weeks and will pick it up if left out by the curb ... properly packaged, of course. Couldn't be easier.
