There should be three bolts, if memory serves correct. It's been awhile for the old 3.8 ltr. The first thing you need to do is buy a haynes manual. It will give you step by step processes for doing all kinds repairs and general maintenance items. Make sure you disconnect the negative terminal on the battery before you start removeing anything!
