Default coil replacement

yes i have searched. car ran like 1/2 power this morning after just a few minutes of driving. luckly before i got on highway. pulled into gas station popped hood noticed some smoke near back of engine. got freaked out grabbed a ride to work. search and remember after i saw several threads saying they had bad coil packs and some smoke. guess thats from unburnt fuel ignighting in the exaust and cats??

but i can't seem to find any tuts on replaceing them. i know the passenger side is right up front there. any one have pics of the drivers side and were it is located. so i can easly find this tonight and hopefully replace this part myself?

This is a 1993 if that makes a difference.
