why are you replacing the toilet? if its a older water waster its

Not necessarily. My new Toto Drakes easily outperform the various high
flush volume toilets they replace. No contest.

As to the original question, after you remove the tank, quickly pour a
5-gallon bucket of water in the bowl. The hard siphon action will
remove nearly all the water. Then, either use a sponge, or even
better, a shop vac to remove the little that remains.

It's not a bad idea to carry it out with a garbage bag underneath, just
in case there are a few drips or in case some old wax ring falls off.
You don't want that stuff falling on a carpet!
