Default 2004 Malibu Coolant Drain Plug Location

Hi, all. I need a little help locating the drain plug for the engine coolant on my 2004 Malibu LT V6. I took off the splash shield but did not see a drain plug on the bottom of the radiator. Does anyone know where it is or do I need to remove the lower radiator hose to complete a drain and refill of the system. FYI, I have consulted the Chilton manual and it is no help.

Thanks for the help!

Look down the driver's side of the radiator from under the hood. It's at the bottom with the plug facing towards the transmission. I remember seeing it pretty clearly when I had the headlight out to change a bulb.
