depends how anal you are. once coolant is in it is kind of a pain to drain. esp since you will just toss it. so i would just let it set until next flush. that means you got approx 60-50% coolant in. that will work. that drain plug is def a pain. you need the plug gasket as well so get one on hand first. as 900tc mentioned, if it has beena long time etc. then pull the plug. if you can get under the car you wan tot even consider pulling the entire drain plug housing and clean it. you can reseal it with anaerobic sealer or the "right stuff" or a gasket. oh, the plug can be gotten to with a 3" extension on a 3/8 ratchet and 19 mm ( or 3/4" :) ) brought from below the engine mount brace.
but i would just drive it for a while. do a good acid flush on next change out and then fix it right.
