Not sure once the torque converter is removed but I can tell you from removing them, autos are nearly twice the weight of a manual tranny.
The auto will still need fluid for lubrication and will need to run the pump for gear switching purposes.
There are a few that have pulled the TC and used them in EVs that will have more insight.
