Does anyone have a suggestion as to how one may go about draining off a certain amount of coolant in a Chevy 3800 engine, so as to facilitate the removal of the drive belt tensioner.

The car CANNOT be started nor can it be moved. The coolant must be drained (partially/fully) in order to remove the tensioner. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
