They're down low in the center of the block, just above the oil pan. You'll need to drain your exhaust and cooling system as well.:)

One is just in front of the starter, the other is near the oil dipstick tube, I use a small adjustable wrench to loosen em, and when I put em back in I put a little motor oil or grease on the threads so they come out easy next time....
