Your redneck neighbor is right. You do not need to fill the torque converter before installing it. It won't save the pump any work, it's going to pump fluid to the torque converter whether or not it is prefilled.
And if you did fill it, how would you get it on the trans? Set the converter on the floor and lower the trans down onto it? If the trans is sitting level, when you try to install a filled torque converter you'll spill 4-5 quarts of ATF on the ground.
