Well, I HAVE to remove the radiator since the '76 is still the mechanical fan
with rearward-mounted radiator. But I
think I will have a drain installed, there is a rad shop close by.

Since you will be half way there, take the radiator out, take it to a shop and
have a drain installed. The water pump will be so much easier to do too.
