Similar situation here. I have a GT with a locked up engine. Since I can't turn the flywheel to get to all the torque converter bolts, I was thinking I could slide the torque converter out with the motor and then pull the whole thing. It requires that I remove all the pullies [to get enough room to slide the engine away from the tranny].
So, Bill... which is the best solution:
1. Remove all pullies/accessories and slide the torque converter out, provided I have a good engine puller that will play nice going perfectly sideways.
2. Drop the oil pan and disconnect the broken rod, provided that the rod won't interfere once disconnected
3. Drop the whole thing out the bottom.
In my situation, I'm ready to go from the top, but the torque converter is still attached.
