Obviously it would make sense to change that seal while the gearbox is off.

Yes Alan, autos have a drive plate (sometimes called a flex-plate) instead of a more traditional flywheel. The torque converter serves the purpose of being the flywheel in terms of weight.
Worth investing in either new patch bolts or throughly cleaning the old ones and using some Loctite 243 threadlock before their final torquing when refitting.
I would suggest using your existing driveplate with the AW70/71 TC bolted to it on your B21A assuming the TC will bolt to it. I wouldn't be surprised to learn the PCD on the TC mounting bolts is different so that may mean you have to use a B230 driveplate. Also use a spot of Loctite 243 on the TC bolts on their final fitting.
