For the thermostat on a 3100 just follow the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing. It is difficult to get to and replace. You may have to remove the throttle body and an exhaust heat shield on the crossover. I would recommend using an AC Delco thermostat.

Did you make sure all air was bled out of the cooling system? What problem are you having now. Is it overheating?
