Suck all the old fluids from the engine.See the lower radiator hose

A wet vac works very well also and gets the vac nice and clean. You can get the tank emptied with a small piece of hose inserted into the vacuum hose and using your hand to make a seal at the union.
Vacuuming from the upper radiator hose and likewise from the radiator gets the rest.
