basically thats what u do. be careful when jacking up the engine though. ive heard a piece of 2x4 between the jack and the oilpan works.

first take the heater control valve off.... or you will break it, we did and knew to watch out for it.

Should be mounted on the rear engine bulkhead/firewall almost in the centre at the top may be covered by a black plastic casing which just unclips, you will then see the pipes attached to it.
