Radiator is out, what can I do in the meantime?

Flush the block. Citric acid works best, w/ heat. Remove the block drain (passenger side, above oil pump, might need to poke a screwdriver thru the rust). I would have done so w/ old radiator in, but you might be able to loop the hoses and idle it for short times. If you ever thought of changing to Evan's Waterless Coolant (like me), now is the time, since you need to thoroughly dry the block.
