Can't find the exhaust manifold drain on 4.3LX

[TheRussian]

Hi again,

I am going through the process of draining the water for winterization on my 1993 4.3LX. I found the block drains easily but cannot locate the exhaust drains. The repair manual is useless as far as the diagrams go. I took off the hose that is connected directly below the manifold on both sides and drained a large amount of water that way. Is this good enough as far as the exhaust goes or do I have to keep looking for these mysterious plugs? If I have to keep looking could someone provide a diagram or photo? Thanks.

Here's a pic of what I disconnected.

Ayuh,... The exhaust is as Dry as it's gonna get,...

Sometimes, those elbows have drains in 'em,...
Pullin' the hose, does the same thing,...
