Second Gen 3800 engine swap questions

On my first gen I have to remove the OFA to have enough clearance to pull the engine, is there enough clearance on a second gen or should I leave it off the new engine until installed?

 

Will my L67 flywheel bolt to torque converter the L36 is currently bolted to? I'm going to leave the stock 4T65 in there for now.

Did different cars get different stall converters? Like H body vs W body or whatever the Riv is?

 

The Rivi is a FWD G body. It's the same platform as the Aurora.

Yeah, the L67 flywheel is balanced to an L67. I wasn't sure the 4T65 had the same input shaft spline as an HD. I'm going to buy a whole HD fw $200 from a running car this week so that'll give me a converter.

This would be a fun place to post a pic of my "3800 Only!" modified engine stand, lol.

I've seen them both multi drilled and single drilled. Best advise I have is to verify on a per application basis.
