Default Drain coolant for intake swap?

Hi everyone--
Doing the relocation of the oil pressure sensor (not the first and definitely not the last person to do this). Doesn't look too difficult since I've read up on all the pitfalls (plastic straw extension, the torque, yada-yada) and I got all the tools for the job.

Question: do I have to drain the coolant? I don't think so, but I better check with y'all more experienced forum members?

Thanks, y'all.

i much like the design, not like the old days of the radiator hose and thermostat being part of the intake manifold.

But be ready to cap off coolant bypass hose if TB is coming apart, just loose TB and lay near but dont disconnect TB bypass, may be good time for TB coolant bypass, i did and no worries.
