Yours is FL so thermostat will be behind cambelt. While it is possible to do it without front end removal it's a lot easier with it in service position. Dezzy's pictures show PF which is a lot easier to change thermostat but pump is belt off job on PF as well.
Just for reference if somebody else is looking circled in red in Dezzys pictures is thermostat, the water pump is in yellow below.
