Default need some maintenance help

So Tuesday I purchased a 93 sc300 ran fine, but with high mileage I decided a refresh would be beneficial. As of now I have it pulled apart to replace the distributor o ring, dist cap /rotor, as well as the plugs and wires and thermostat. The starter is also on its way out so I will be replacing that also.

My questions are; where is the thermostat housing. I assume it should be easy to get to with the intake out. Second question, where is the starter exactly. Do I have to pull off the whole intake manifold to get to it? If so can someone give me a walkthrough on how to do it?

the thermostat is on the back side of the water pump held on with 2 nuts. underneath the distributor


the starter is underneath the manifold on the drivers side. best way to get to it seems to be from underneath the car
