Like Peter says, if you follow the top radiator hose to the engine, the part it connects to is the water outlet. That water outlet piece has two 10mm bolts that hold it to the engine and the thermostat is directly below it.

You year should have a rubber gasket around the thermostat and a paper gasket for the outlet housing.

If you drain the coolant below the thermostat, make sure you fill the engine at the thermostat opening first. These engines are prone to trapping air. That can cause problems. If you follow this coolant fill procedure in techinfo, you will be OK.
