The power bulge is hood is mostly on DOHC engines to help clear the timing belt cover. SOHC engines don't require the bulge.
Although some SOHC neon's have the power bulge hood as an upgrade.

If you have a DOHC engine and want to put a flat or SOHC hood on there you will have to cut some of the bracing on the underneath part of the hood to clear the timing cover.
It's up to you. I had a flat/SOHC hood on my old 99 DOHC.
