No,

Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the junction
that run's through the valley of the block, undo the two bolts at
the junction where the radiator hose goes to and volia the
thermostat is in there.

Can supply a pic if needed.

Hope these shed some light on the subject, the green arrows
indicate the two bolts to be removed from the housing to get
to the thermostat.

Matt, that is way tooooooooo funny. I bet in his spare he hangs from a string from your rear view mirror .... LOL

Amber, that part that Matt gave you a pic of resides part way between the distributer and the throttlebody and down a little. Once you're looking in the general vicinity, you can't miss it with the 1 large coolant hoses going to the front of it and 3 smaller ones from the rear. You'll have to remove the accordian type rubber intake tube to get at it better.
