I have replaced mine several times over the past 4 years and as long as the radiator is drained and water level is lower then the thermostat housing you should be ok, Remove the T-stat housing first before removing the manifold and soak up as much the remaining coolant with paper towels or wet dry vac, there shouldn't be much.
