Default complete coolant change procedure, '90 tbird LX

For certain reasons, I wish to do as thorough of a coolant removal/change as
possible in this vehicle.. what would be the best way to accomplish this?
I've always just drained with the radiator plug... but I want to go the full
monty here..with the absence of a thermostat, would pulling the bottom hose
from the radiator and placing a large container to catch from both ends,
then running the engine for a short time (just enough to pump out all I can)
be an acceptable method? too dangerous? would burping the system afterward
by parking on an uphill grade and topping off be extremely difficult to
achieve completely after such a complete drain?
