Default IAC valve removal??

when removing the IAC valve, when you remove the hoses, does coolant start leaking out. i guess my question is, do you have to drain the coolant??

that would be a waste of time/effort. pull the hoses and install them on the new iac. then unbolt the old one, then bolt on the new one. simple, and very minor spillage. basically what sgt said: work quickly swapping the hoses.
