If you're asking where your plugs are, they're under the COP covers that are on each valve cover. The drivers side has a label like DOHC 32 VALVE or something like that, and the passenger is covered by your air intake. They come off with a couple of small bolts, then pull your COP's out and the plugs are exposed. Really simple actually. A lot easier than a GT.
