Cooling system cleaner?

Hi all,
I was planning on flushing the coolant in my '97 900 S 5spd (138k) this week and I've been thinking lately that it's likely extremely dirty. What's in there now is the standard green stuff and I know for a fact that it hasn't been done in at least 40k miles. Potentially many more, so it's way past due (not my fault, i acquired the car recently. really!) I was thinking drain, fill w/ distilled water, run to open t-stat, drain, fill w/ coolant, drive away. Since i'm planning on switching to Zerex G-05:
1) should i be worried about the mix 'n match with whatever weird deposits this very old coolant might have left inside the system?
2) does anyone have any experience with a cleaner/solvent that they'd recommend for such things that i could use to add to the distilled water flush phase? e.g. Zerex Super Flush.
thanks
