Wonder if you could snake a piece of tubing down into the drain plug area
through one of the ports on the front of the engine and then suck out the
remaining water/AF?

I once used a heater that was installed in the bottom radiator hose (IIRC)
in a '67 200D. It worked well in a high mileage engine in Florida where the
temperature never got below the 20F's.

Last one I did was on an OM616 out of the car. 5-6 feet didn't do it and
trying to hold the engine down to counter the cheater was a real problem.
I tried the flame wrench also. Ended up with a 4 pounder and a big
chisel, after the flame wrench and 6 feet of cheater didn't work. The
plug was literally beat to pieces before it was out

Based on the big fun Jim Cathey had doing the Frankenheap's block heater
I bought mine from Rusty but will let my Indy do the install...
Actually it depends, if I end up taking the 240D to camp this weekend
I'll have a local Indy there do it for half my regular guy's labor rate.
I bet it's not a bad job at all if you own a 36" breaker bar and can stand
under the car.
