How do you flush out a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire radiator when you can't find the drain plug?

It may or may not have a drain plug for the radiator. Look at the bottom of the radiator usually on the passenger side of the car. It doesn't really look like an actual plug. It is more like a plastick wing nut, just unscrew it and it should drain. Some radiators don't have drain plugs at all. If it doesn't just take off the lower radiator hose from either the radiator or the engine block and do it that way
i think the sunfire drain is on the driverside of radiator facing forward. it should be a 1/4 inch hole in center. you have to turn and pull to drain. be careful not to damage plug or radiator.

First, remove the radiator cap and start the engine.The engine should be warm enough for the thermostat to open. (The fluid can be seen to circulate once the thermostat opens), Be careful of the now hot fluid that it will not burn you. There is most likely a radiator plug at the bottom of the radiator but if not, remove the bottom radiator hose and allow the fluid to drain out. If you want to flush the system you could refill with plain water (close the drain plug) and allow to circulate for a few minutes then redrain. There are commercial products for flushing the system readily available. Once emptied (and flushed), close the plug or reattach the bottom hose and fill with the appropriate mix of antifreeze and water. Read on the antifreeze container for the dilution ratio for the desired low temperature protection.

To drain the compressor you have to remove the compressor from where it is mounted and physically drain the oil from it.
