I think some low-end I4's and V6's in the early production years were missing a rear bar. Not that it matters for this discussion! 
Just look under your axle. If there's a bar right below, anchored in two places to the axle by clamps, that's your rear bar. (Comes off easy!) On each side, in the wheelwell, the bar is connected to the body by "end links".
And look under your hood. Since we have V6's, the bar's easy to see- it would be between the lower engine pulley (crank pulley) and bottom of the radiator. It'll have a slight curve to it. It attaches the same way as the rear bar (2 mounting bushings on the bar, and an end link at each end).
