That still leaves the fluid in the block and the crud that builds up in there.
Almost every time I have done a proper flush of a system, when I pull the block drain nothing comes out because of rust flake build up. I have to ream the hole out with a coat hanger to get flow and an amazing pile of crud.
Even most garages only do a half a job. Which is just plain ripping you off.

Do yourself a favor and find the plug, that's what I'm going to do with my new engine.

IIRC the plug is a square drive of an odd size, you'll need to grind down a
1/2" socket extension to fit the plug.I use a crescent wrench or pipe wrench on them....
