Like, will anything happen to it if it stays empty and sits there over night is what your asking. If so, you'll be fine.

Yes that was the question to be clear and thank you!

Just another quick silly question here.

What about no coolant, for multiple weeks, in -20 to 30 degree weather?

If it has no fluid in it, there is nothing to freeze and therefore nothing to worry about.
