You need to drain it from the drain on the bottom passenger side of the radiator. That will empty out the water in the motor enough to were you don't make a huge mess. But, before you do any of this, have you done a compression test to verify that you have a bad head gasket? I would be doing everything that I can before tearing apart the motor.

When you go to put the headers on (if I read that right) get the manifolds off and get a mirror and look everywhere. You will been a pressure tester (can rent from autozone) and pressure up your system. This will make it leak and you will be able to see it. Make sure to check where your coolant level is in the rad, cause before you start the car, you will want to take the pressure tester off, and verify the level. If the level is low, and you have no water on the ground, it's likely that it's in the cyl and if you start the car, it will hydrolock and you will trash the motor.

Oh, your wanting to put stop leak in your motor... If it was my car, I would find the leak and just repair it. The stop leak can clog the rad and heater core.

But, this is your car and you can do with it as you wish. And yes, if it says to remove the thermostat, then you need to do it. Otherwise, it will shut off the flow of water through it.
