You might have fitted it but yes you should, you will only fill it up half way as it will come back out when setting it in the engine, also the oil coming out you can see what the old oils like.

If the fluid in there is good then leave it. If you are not sure then drain it.
You aren't going to get all of it out no matter what you do.
Add a few quarts to the converter, then tip it upright and see how far the fluid drains into it. You want to fill it as far as it can, but when you install it on the trans some of the fluid will drain if you add too much.
