The slim jim tool would be the easiest, no trans disturbance needed. However, TIm Cole brings up a good point about the loosening of the trans bolts. MAYBE try this:

Leave trans inplace, do not disturb trans bolts but remove TORQUE CONVERTER bolts only. Pry the TC back toward rear of car. Not sure if there is enuf slide back room for the TC on the trans input shaft or not. Most TC's usualy can be slid back into the trans at least 1/16 inch if not 1/8" or a little more. Just need to release pilot of TC from end of crank. Not sure it will work but mite be worth a try for those with heart set on dropping crank.
