Don't bother with the drain plug. Even if you can find it, once you open it, they tend to leak when you close them. Instead, remove the lower radiator hose. It's messier, but quick. GM no longer installs drain valves in late model cars due to the problems with them not sealing again. Oh, and they can't afford the 0.32 for the valve anymore.

antifreeze does two things. It keeps the water in the radiator from freezing in the winter, and helps prevent if from boiling over and evaporating in the summer. You can run your vehicle with water alone in moderate temperatures and it will do the job. But, if you mean by "running out of antifreeze" you mean there is no liquid in the radiator, then yes, your vehicle can overheat and ruin the engine.
