Hello,

If the torque converter is stuck on the engine for some reason, you will not have enough room to remove the engine. It will not provide you with enough clearance.
The option would be to remove both the engine and transmission together from the bottom.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
