Poke a hole in the bottom hose. Then you can use that wonderful tool called
Duct Tape to seal it later!
Actually, you can probably take it to a radiator shop and they can braze a
fitting in it at the proper location. Most radiator shops are great at that
kind of work. Just make sure there are no shrouds or body parts in the way.
Look for a good location on the radiator before you remove it.
