Running into some glitches pulling the engine from my 1984 Mercedes W123 300D Turbo

Here they are:

1) On the passenger's side of the passenger compartment, there is a little thing about the size of a control arm bushing that has two line running to it, one from the coolant temperature sensor and another one from the firewall (maybe?). When I tried to take off the hose running from the temp sensor to this thing, coolant started to leak out. I quickly snugged it back on before anything more than a few drips made it out, but how do I drain my cooling system? I ask this because there is no radiator in the car and I don't know how to drain the coolant when the radiator is gone. Also, what is that thing that the hose runs to? I'll post a picture of it tomorrow.

2) I removed the three bolts holding the driveshaft to the front flex disc and backed off the monster nut on the driveshaft such that it is completely disconnected from the front half, (is the front half called the propeller shaft?), but I still can't get the front half to back up from the tranny one bit. I'm wondering if it's tuck on to the (original) flex disc and jut needs a hammer & chisel at the point where it meet the flex disc. What do you guys think?

Thanks!
