I thought I had a link, but couldn't seem to find it. There is another 1/2 gallon of coolant still in the system that canot be removed simply by removing a hose. It's in the heater core. To remove it, you need to find the two lines form the heater core and use compressed air at low pressure to the top hose. This will blow out the remaing 1/2 gallon.
Personally, if you flushged your system with disctilled water as I did, I wouldn't worry about it. Same if you used the same type of coolant for the fill.
