Ok, so my 97 TC's intake manifold finally cracked about five months ago. I was still driving it because it's my only car and I'm relatively poor. I had it replaced today, and the block was full of brown water/antifreeze mix. What's the best thing to use to do a pretty decent flush and get the cooling system as clean as possible?

just use the coolant flush stuff and follow the directions. You may have to do it more than once. You may also have to take the lower hose OFF to clean it out as I'm sure there will be loads of sludge in that one. You may also have to get the hose and run it through the radiator to really flush it out. Follow that with one gallon of distilled water just to rinse the tap water out.
