starter replacement

I need to replace the starter in my 2001 cavalier. Any tips or pitfalls or potential problems I should be aware of? Is it easy to get at or do I have to remove other parts to get at it? Where abouts is the starter located? (I haven't even looked at it yet)

Don't forget to remove the nut on the top side of the front starter bolt first, or you'll snap the bolt every time..
