If you are sure that the rest of the cooling system in clean you can just flush the heater core. You will lose some coolant but not a whole lot. So you won't lose to much you can always put a couple of vise gripes on the heater core hoses. When you flush the core make sure to flush it several time in both direction. On one of my other XJ's I had to flush it ten time to get it cleaned. Once you think it's clean flush it a few more time.
