and that is all you need to do, dump the old stuff by pulling the lower radiator hose and replace it with 50/50 green coolant

I agree, there is nothing wrong with using green coolant. If you flush your system with water, you should fill the system with 1.7 gallons (6.5L) of 100% coolant then top off with distilled water. You should fill the system this way because there will be water remaining in the block that will dilute the coolant you are adding. If you fill with 50/50 your end mix will be less than 50/50.
