Default How to drain a 3.1

Can anyone tell me how to go about draining the coolant from a 3.1 V6 in a '95 Cutlass? I looked around for a radiator drain but didn't see one. I would also like to drain the block, as this is a defunct car and won't be run at all this winter. I suppose I can just pull the lower radiator hose, but that is messy.

Coolant drain should be on the driver side towards the bottom of the radiator. It's plastic easy to brake. It's right below the trans cooler line.

There are two drain plugs on either side of the block. I don't know the exact location of them.
