Can always take the lower radiator hose loose.

Some of them have a plug in the center of the crossover tube (the thing by your sterring rack) facing the front of the car (access from below). If you jack up the rear of the car, the bulk of the coolant will drain out.

I think they eliminated the rack tube drain hole to save a buck per car in the early 70s.
So you have to pull off one of the hoses.
