Intake plenum and cooling fluid
#2
#3
For VG or VE?
the VG has some coolant in it, but I didn't bother draining the system- just pulled the hoses off and let the small bit dribble out. keep the hoses propped up though- if you bend them down and out of the way, they'll siphon out coolant until the level is as low as the end of the hose.
for the VE, there's no coolant passages in the IM, except for the one going through the throttle body.

VG , and I will be keeping the throttle on the car (disconnecting it from the plenum.)

got to clean the throttle body anyhow. what I meant was that I would leave the elbow behind. so I wouldn't be removing the coolant hoses there and therefore wondered if I could save my lazy as some work by not draining the coolant first.

yep the coolant goes into (or out of... can't remember) a port just below the pcv valve hookup and there's another one somewhere else that is the outlet (or inlet, depending which direction it flows, since i forgot by now) that you have to disconnect as well. they are fairly close to each other, ie, maybe 4 inches apart.
