I think it depends on what you plan to do with the engine. If you plan to rebuild it yourself, you might as well clean out the cooling passages while it is still in the car (does it run?).

If you plan to take it to an engine rebuilder, they will probably clean the entire block out better than you ever could flush it.

If you are going to swap it into another car, you might get it as clean as you can now.
