You really ought to run the engine until you have full circulation (thermostat
open) and get all the crud stirred up BEFORE you drain. Have the heater turned
up full hot and make sure it is blowing hot air. Then drain the hot stuff
as soon as you shut it down.
You will not fill everything at once. You'll have to start it up and run it to
get all the air pockets out (heater and cylinder head) and continue to add until
it stays at the top.

If you can't run the engine, if it has antifreeze in it, you are probably better
off to wait until you CAN run it. If it doesn't have antifreeze in it and you
can't run it, just drain but don't refill until you are ready to run it again.
