carefully....... j/k
Get a bunch of clean rags and slow take one hose off and drain the fluid into a cup while holding the other opening. It is a slow process. Can you take the whole system out of the case?

what i usually do with a T line is just pull out one component (preferable the radiator or pump) cut off or pull off the tube and let it drain out..
make sure u have the t line top open when u do this (makes it faster)
always keep eye on it!!! or else u'll have a bunch of coolant feet (that was a bad day)

Would there be any significant adverse effects from having two T-Lines?
With one at the bottom of the loop and one at the top. The one at the bottom being used for draining the system (into a bucket or whatever) and one at the top, for filling the system and when draining, after unplugging the bottom drain T and having it in a safe location (bucket), blowing on the top T to flush the water out.

For me I have the pump that can be taken out of the case easily... It's not permanently attached with bolts/nuts.. It's held down by a ziptie on a sponge.
Whenver I have to flush I bring the case over a sink and take the pump out of the case and then just disconnect the intake hose.. and blow some air into the T-line to get all the water pushed out

I suggest not blowing into the system....... Just think of all the bacteria and germs going onto the system from your mouth...... I would suck and spit before i infest my system with massive amounts of little germs. I attach my air compressor and blow out the system till it drys

Once you put the antifreeze all the germs... bacteria will die.. If it was just regular tap water or just distilled water then there are problems but... no need to worry bout those things
