Flex plate yes, converter, no.
Like Last In said, be sure the converter is all the way seated before you install the motor. Push in, turn, push in, turn, repeat until you feel it clunk into place, then push it all the way back against the case. Be sure to put a jack under the front of the transmission to help you line things up as you drop the motor in.
