Oh yeah! Tried my luck with the vice grips this evening, and that bolt came out pretty easily!!!! 
Cleaned things up a little, and hope to pick up the radiator tomorrow or the next day. Should be on the road this weekend!
Since I don't have new freeze plugs, I'm thinking about running the car for a day or so with only distilled water, then draining the system in the hope some of the rust/gunk will leave. Then I'll refill with a mixture of antifreeze and water. Might get freeze plugs at a later date and try and clean out the block more thouroughly then....Opinions?
