The Anti freeze you found in the junkyard motor was prob. a result of the car or motor being tossed around. If you just drain the coolant fromn the radiator enough will come out of the engine for you to do your work. Plus if you did get a little antifreeze in the cyl. just a quick wipe would be enough, the rest would burn off, w/ no harm done.

There will be a drain plug on the block..
On a D16a6 it is on the #4 cylinder(passenger side) on the front side
of the block under the exhaust manifold.
You could probably also drain it by removing the coolant temp sensor on the back of the block.
