A gallon should be enough, or catch what you drain out and pour it back in.

The Haynes Manual advertises that the whole system holds 15 qts. So depending on whether you drain everything, radiator, left block plug, right block plug will kinda determine how much you'll need. If you get it all and put a 50/50 mix back in, you'll need 2 gallons. Think about it and go from there. Hope this helped.
