Are you using the flush kit similar to the one in the link below?

If so then would not even bother with it. Those tees just tend to leak and cause more problems in the future. Why cut a perfectly good heater hose in half to install. Drain the system enough to add the cleaning chemical and then run for the recommended time. Drain the system back out, Remove either of the heater hoses and use a regular garden hose to flush both side of the removed hose. You are just trying to remove as much of the chemical from the system as possible. Once throughly flushed then add coolant and water. Keep in mind that the block will still have maybe 1/2 gallon of water still in there so make the mixture good and strong. 80% antifreeeze should be about right.
Total coolant capacity for car is 6.3 US quarts.
