1992 Volkswagen Passat where is the thermostat?

You have to take the alternator off and remove. then take the airconditioner compressor off and move as far out of the way with out un hooking the lines then remove the powersteering pump and brackets. then take the mount brackets off for the alternator and the airconditioner pump. and the pullys have to come off also.the thermostat is inside the elbow on the water pump.
