dont worry what you described is normal , you dont need to pull the pan
just change your oil before you start the engine and give it time to drain good it will be fine . Furthermore,if you did have something large enough to block a passage in your block ...your radiator would be really clogged!
Next time try removeing the lower radiator hose so that the block will drain a little better. On SECOND thought ,go ahead and do that now to let some more coolant out of the block ,I have used a wet and dry shop vac to vaceum the extra coolant straight out of the two back passages you`re talking about,it works good!
