Can anyone tell me the locations of the two other plugs on the engine block that I need to unscrew to drain out the coolant and where the air bleed port plug may be? I know there is one plug in front and one in rear but my Chilton manual is worthless all it shows is one and doesn't really give the locations of the other two. Thanks in advance.

Refer to your Owner's Manual

Famous saying: One picture is worth a thousand words. There are two good
diagrams in Chapter 8 of your Owner's Manual. Unfortunately these block
drains are so difficult to reach that most people don't bother. They just
drain the radiator, fill with water, run the engine until the thermostat
opens, and drain again.

As for the air bleed... there isn't one.

If they are as hard to reach as you say then I may just use the procedure you described. I really appreciate the advice.
