There shouldn't been too much left. I put what was vacuumed and caught in a pan, in a 5 gallon bucket. My amounts for coolant recovered are only rough approximations.

Scotty we finished tearing everything apart, and the LIM had about a tablespoon of coolant left that dripped out when I turned it upside down to scrape the old gasket off. Everything appears to be pretty dry. I'm sure there is some in the heater core and it's hoses. Recovered coolant is more like 2 gallons.
Info not much help, without me pulling the knock sensor to check for additional anti-freeze.
I have had quite a bit of engines in my garage that I hve torn down. there is about a half gallon left in the base of the block. if you are able to attach a small atachment and go through where the waterpump is.
you will be able to drain both sides of the block.
to get 100% dry...pull engine disassemble.....and turn upside down.
I'd say the easiest is paying to have it done. The radiator shop is charging me $40-60 to have it flushed and switched over. THAT, is a deal! F it. Pay to have it done
That is a heck of a deal and you don't have to worry about the neighbors seeing you dump the old coolant in the storm sewer at midnight.
I'm not going to mention the state I lived in when this happened but...
I lived in a brand new subdivision. At about noon one day I saw my neighbor roll his lawn mower up to the street storm sewer, open the oil fill, and trip the mower on it's side to allow the old oil to drain out. I about $hit.
