As long as you don't let the hoses drop down when disconnected, you won't lose much coolant, at least not on the (3) 2.3's I've done.
Your post doesn't say if 2.3 or 3.0, hopefully the later, as the former is a real &#$% to get at. Hose clamp pliers will help.
If you want to also change the coolant (probably overdue), the radiator drain plug only requires getting a thumb and finger on the green "wing-nut" tabs and giving 1/2 turn counter-clockwise. It works great, if some idiot (like previous owner on my departed 1999) doesn't break off the tabs trying to turn wrong way or pulling the plug all the way out. It isn't removed from radiator. I have nice picture at home, may post later.
good luck
