My atomic 4 is raw water cooled, I have drained the engine and water pump using the drain plugs and not used any antifreeze. That has worked in Toronto for the last nine years.
I did experiment with a thin tube and suction pump the first year to see how much water was left in the block. I doubt it was a rigorous test but there was not much. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1
