Nick,
The drain should be on the passenger side bottom corner of the radiator. If you can't find it or it won't turn you can also pull the lower radiator hose to drain it. That is what I have have to do with my aluminum radiator since it doesn't have an actual drain in the radiator.
The EGR is the highest point to you shouldn't have too much coolant come out when you disconnect it. Remember to change the oil after you have swapped the intake just in case some coolant and other junk got into it.
Its not a hard swap.
Also when you reinstall the fuel injectors put a little vaseline on the orings to help them slide in easier.

I like to turn the engine over with a big ratchet until the rotor is facing #1 plug wire. Then mark the base of the distributor and a corresponding mark on the block. Unbolt the hold down bolt, it should be a 1/2" socket. Pull the bolt and the holddown clamp out. Unplug the distributor and pull it out. Sometimes it takes some rocking it a little and twisting to get it out.
Or you can leave it in. It just takes a little more finesse when putting the lower back on but that is how I usually do it. I leave the dizzy in and swap the intakes with it in there. It can be done.

Swap the heads if you got em. Even though the intake helped a bunch on myn. I left the distributor in the car when I pulled mine because I didn't want to restab it and have it a tooth off. I just loosened it and turned it so it would clear. Leave the tube thing connected until the intake is off. It's a a lot easier to get loose with it out of the car.
