Cooling system overhaul - easy question
Today and tomorrow I am putting new heater hoses, thermostat, radiator in. Pretty straight forward. I have been through plenty of threads about it, however I still have a question:
I do not have my thermostat or my "new" radiator flushed yet, will not be here till the 10th, will my engine be okay sitting with empty coolant for a few days? Not being driven of course.

A few days wont be a problem at all.
Too long and things can oxidize in there (the passages in the rotor housings), but not THAT quick by any means. I have engines I've torn down on the shelf which sat without coolant for quite a while and things still look fine.
