Ok, so i've decided that it's time to change the radiator fluid in the 4 banger, now im no mechanic, so i dont know much about the cooling systems....
anyways, to drain the radiator, do you just remove the bottom hose and let it drain out? or is there actually a drain plug?
seems like a stupid question oh btw its a 93 if that makes any diffrence

There is actually a drain plug. I believe that your best plan of attack would to take out the bottom hose first and let that drain into a bucket, then once all that is gone you should open the drain plug, located near the passenger side bottom corner if I remember correctly and let that drain out. I can't remember if there is a drain plug on the block or not, I would imagine that there is though.

Look for one on the block as well. I think I remember seeing one on there somewhere. I could be wrong though.
