Welcome to the forums, Scorpio. Not a problem on the coolant.
Can do a couple things. Go buy yourself a stainless turkey baster (yes; one of those bulb things you use at Thanksgiving) at Target. Connect a 6" rubber hose to the end. Pop your rad cap and suck away......with the baster!! A turkey baster has 1001 uses around the shop. Clean and dry when you're done. Do NOT re-use for the turkey.
Should be a small bleeder screw near the water pump area on your engine, which lets you bleed off the air when you change your coolant. Put a drip pan underneath, turn the screw, bleed off coolant, and re-tighten (not TOO tight.)
Welcome again. Gear up; stay safe.

hmmm, what is that taste???? (on turkey day. ) lol

Depending on how much you overfilled will kind of dictate on what you do. Going over a little above is not disastrous. But yes, keep it simple.
