I am replacing my radiator and need to do a full flush. Planning on running distilled water through old radiator and cleaning out system. Question- how do I remove the left over water that it sitting in the block before I pour in the new 50/50 mix ?

I also need to do my water pump, so does the block completely drain once I take the old water pump off ? And thus my above question is answered ?
 
I think there are two engine plugs. I forget where.. Close under the manifold IIRC. that you can use to drain the water from the engine block. Not sure if that drains water out of the water pump or not.

Update - Here's there Drain plug locations

x2 - open the drain plugs. You'll need a 10mm socket, some straight extensions, and a wobble extension to open and close them. I don't remember what the torque spec is, but its in the FSM.
