Ron,

You're not going to want to do what I did.  I pulled the transmission
because I was swapping it.  I drained it out of the vehicle and tipped
it up to get all of the fluid out.  Having said that, it seemed to me
that the vast majority came out just draining it in the normal
horizontal position.  I'd be surprised if there were still 1.5 ats
remaining after a normal draining.
