You're welcome. The only one I really would worry about is damaging the transmission if the converter is in the front of the pump too deep as even an eighth of an inch can cause issues. As for pulling it all apart, you could cut the tops out of the bolt bosses, loosen the bolts and slip it into place after you pull the starter out. That would also allow it to be removed easier if needed. Just be sure that all of the plate is used, because of the way it's made if you only installed the lower section it could create an angle between the transmission and block that would but stress on the flexplate, input shaft and internals.
