GO SOX!
If you're looking at just draining, there's a drain plug on the bottom left side of the radiator. Pull it out and let it drain. I pull the cap off the reservoir as well to help the flow.

Draining radiator drains 1/2 of contents of system. (2.5 gal) with stock single core radiator
You can do following to change coolant: (if block drain frozen)
start with 50%
Drain radiator, add distilled water, drive to mix =25%
Drain radiator, add distilled water, drive to mix=12.5%
Drain radiator, add distilled water, drive to mix =6.25%
Drain radiator, add distilled water, druve to mix =3.125%
Drain radiator, add distilked water, drive to mix =1.6%
Refill with 100% coolant, drive to mix =50.8%
Requires 12.5 gal of distilled water.
