I would drop the tank and drain it completely. You may find it's rusted through on the top where it lays against the frame crossmember, a common problem. You are on the right track about cleaning or replacing the tank and blowing the lines out.

I would suggest taking the tank to a rad shop and having them boil it out and relining it if the tank is not too rusty. If you don't have a rad shop nearby, you can buy new ones pretty cheap too.
