Actually your public library may have a good selection of service manuals. A large, main library might have a subscription to Alldata so you can print out the section of the repair that you are working on.
The Chrysler factory manual is always the most comprehensive, but Motors, Mitchells and Chiltons are runner-ups and all have their strengths and weaknesses. You will find a paper or CD factory manuals for sale online. They may be expensive, but think of it as a necessary tool purchase. Beware pirate copies may be incomplete/misrepresented. Watch seller ratings.
The 1995-2000 JA cars (Cirrus/Stratus) also used the same Mitsubishi 2.5L engine and were similar in many mechanical respects to the 1996-2000 JX convertible.
If you plan on doing your own work, a premium service manual is indispensable. Floor jack, jack stands, wheel chocks, air compressor/air tools, rags and a comfortable working area are also important.
Safety is paramount. It seems around here I read about a car falling on a guy about once a year.
A pre-warmed engine seems to unbolt easier as the threadlock softens with heat. A broken or stripped bolt can bring a repair operation to a grinding halt.
The timing belt is on the passenger side. The oil pan will need a stand with a block of wood supporting it while the right side motor mount is removed. The power steering pump bolts (15mm) and rearmost valve cover bolts (10mm) are in a tight spot, but doable. The first time doing anything is always the learning curve. Give yourself plenty of time and take breaks when needed.
