Where is the thermostat
#5
The big rubber intake hose isn't too difficult. The metal breather-tube just pulls out (maybe there's a hose clamp).
The bolts for the T-stat housing are a bit awkward, so a couple different extensions on your sockets.
A new thermostat should come with a gasket. It's a bit like an O-ring but it has a slit around the inside, so it fits over the outer edge of the T-stat & seals both sides. There should be a cut-out for the little rattle-pin of the thermostat, and a tab molded into the rubber gasket to force you to install it in the correct orientation.

I've never seen a radiator w/ a drain plug. Did you look carefully on the passenger side end?
Perhaps pull the lower radiator hose connection to the radiator to drain, or simply let coolant leak out when you open the thermostat housing. It will be diffciult to catch any of that loss, so you'll need at least 1/2 gallon of coolant to replace the loss.
good luck
