On Vauxhall's there isn't a drain plug on the rad like other makes.
You have to remove the lowest pipe from the radiator to drain the system, Unfortunately it doesn't completely drain the system so I run water through the exposed pipe on the radiator to flush the old coolant out.

No, you'll be fine.
The pipe you need to remove faces toward the engine anyway.
As you look down at your radiator stood at the front of the car it'll be the thickest pipe on the right which is the N/S of the car.
Just undo the jubilee clip and remove the end of the pipe off the radiator.

Should be able to do it from top of the engine bay and doing it underneath I wouldn't advise you have long arms or goggles
