What's junkie coolant?
Anyway there is a drain on the radiator on the passenger side. I also drain the block with the core plug but you would be safer to remove the lower rad hose to drain most of the rest. If you want 100% you will have to remove the core plug behind the oil filter on the passenger side. 14MM hex required to remove. Use liquid teflon pipe sealant on the threads when reinstalling plug. If you don't have a block heater you can remove the plug on the driver side as an alternate. Then refill with 50/50 antifreeze/water.

I use the Prestone flush kit from the auto parts store. It gets all the cooent out and makes bleeding the air out a breeze.
