I hate to say it, but if you cannot find the serpentine belt to remove it, are you sure you are up to changing a cylinder head gasket? That's pretty involved...

Here are instructions for removing the serpentine drive belt on a 2002 Cavalier, and it mostly involves using a breaker bar to ease the tensioner back so that you can take the belt off.

If you have VIN F instead, you want to follow THESE instructions:
