If you remove the water pump most of the water should drain out of the block, what is left will need to to be sucked out with a syringe and tubing if you want to completely empty the block.

but as your water pump is cam belt driven I'd just suck/syphon it out - less hassle. Unless you're about to change your cam belt!  :y

If the head is off, I'd suggest the belt probably is too? ::)
