Adding radiator to flow and return of oil boiler

I have recently had my old non condensing oil boiler in external garage changed to a gas combi elsewhere in house.

I have been left with these pipes which are dead legs and I assume are the flow and return the old oil boiler used. I want to add a radiator to help add some heat to the garage. Can I simply add a radiator using hep20 pipe with TRV and lock shield etc? Do I need to drain the system? Any other pit falls?
