Cooling System Flush
Yesterday, I was doing a cooling system flush on my 93 GXE (211,500+ miles and still strong) which was long overdue because I saw some corrosion on my radiator cap (Original). My Haynes manual says that in addition to the drain on the radiator, there are two on each side of the block. I could not locate them. I did the flush anyway. When refilling, I only put in about 3/4 gal of antifreeze and about 64oz of water and the system was full. I doubt that I got all the old fluid out, which means that I have to do this again. 
Where can I find these drain plugs? BTW what's the capacity on the cooling system, I don't have my manual right now?

One of them is located near the driver's drive shaft (near the CV boot area) and one near the Alt (I think).

Here's a not so clear scan of the page out of the service manual...

Sorry for the lousy pic, there was some "bleed-through"
because the pages are thin.
