The water pump on a 1996 Saturn sl2 is located in the engine compartment. It sits below the AC compressor.
NOT AT ALL
Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, what that mounts to is the thermostat housing, remove this and there is your thermostat. * ** *** **** ***** Actually, on my 1997 SL2, the thermostat is on the bottom radiator hose. I would check the "Saturn Thermostat Pictures" link below, which also has installation and removal instructions.
on the back of the engine . above the starter 10 mm bolt holds it in.

Located below the A/C compressor, it has the lower radiator hose attached to it and is held on by (2) 10mm bolts. You can change it with the A/C compressor installed, but will find it easier with the A/C compressor loose and out of the way.
It does not have one.
It's under the compressor off the lower rad hose
There is none.
Check the relays and fuses.
