Removing gas from 84 4 door cutlass

The tube I bought can’t get past what I believe to be the rollover valve, so not very far in. Would like to just siphon it out but can’t find a tiny tube.

Other methods seem to require a lot. Doing it at the carburetor requires using power which we do have but I read something about jumping the starter and that does not sound like something I want to do.

The owner wants to do it properly and turn the gas in to a place that takes it.

The car now starts and runs but owner is opposed to running the 5 year old gas in the engine.

Help with valve cover gasket

(Repost with added pictures)
Hello, might be a long shot, but my 77 vista cruiser had an engine change years ago, original owner has no clue what engine was put in there. but I can't find the right gasket anywhere online or in store. I found the exact one I need in an olds/gm repair book (as shown in second pic) but still have no luck.
Any help to finding this gasket would be much much appreciated. Thank you!
Don’t mind the dirty engine lol
