It's actually quite easy.

In the basement by your current furnace (I'm assuming an oil fired hot water boiler), you just drain off the water (usually very oily water) into a 55 gallon trash can or ideally a utility sink located in your basement. The directions above are plenty explicit.

Intricate ornate cast-iron radiators can go for big money too. Even if not that nice they can still fetch a pretty penny at a scrap yard. 250 pounds of cast iron is 250 pounds of cast iron after all.

Don't let a contractor try and charge you to haul away your old radiators.

BTW...Radiator heat rules for all around coziness and comfort. Beats the pants of off forced hot air anytime. Although AC will require vents and forced air.
