Don't remove the coolant around the cylinder bores. The cylinder bores are free-standing on B-series; also known as "open deck." The head gasket and the head provides the seal between the bores and the block.
It would be wise to siphon the coolant off the pistons, however.

Well, if you remove the plug on the front of the engine, the coolant will drain. You should put fresh coolant in after you do the gasket anyway, because you will get debris in the coolant.
