it makes a difference if its a regular or grand. the grand is easy under the dash 3 screws unplug the connector and your good. if its a sport its under the hood and they (alldata) are saying that the a.c. will need to be evacuated to relocate the rec/dryer to give you room to remove the blower motor. if that is the case grab a test light and make sure you have power at the blower motor if not check the fuse then the blower resister. if anyone has done this and the a.c. does not have to be evacuated please chime in as i have not personally done this and am going by what alldata says.

Sorry I'm not sure on the 2000..Just went and looked at my son's 99. Sure enough like Scott said the a/c receiver dryer is mounted in the way.. You may try and unbolt the mount and turn the dryer up to clear it.

I looked on NAXJA this was all I could find. Worth reading http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...r+motor&page=2

Good Luck

Before you go and replace the motor, make sure it's not the speed control relay. I just had to replace mine because it would only blow on high.
