Quick intake question

79 f150 351m intake.
I was reading my haynes last weekend to do the intake gasket this weekend. now I can not find my book. Been looking for almost two hours.

Anyways, my question. Do I have to drain the coolent to pull the intake? I have already done the carb, plug wires, at kickdown. Started loosening the intake bolts and it dawned on me, do I drain it?

Next question, what is the torque for the bolts? I know it is a 2 step process and to start in the middle and work out.

Thanks in advance.

No water in the intake for 351M/400 or C. Not sure on torque.
