If you follow the upper radiator hose from the rad to the engine you should find it.
It will be under the housing that the rad hose connects to on the engine side. Usually the housing is held on by two bolts.

what you have and are attempting to do is seperate the A/C condensor from the radiator. They are most usually bolted together. You need to keep looking to find where they have been joined, sometimes the bolt will almost be hidden.

I just had my coolant flushed and my radiator cooling fan replaced. The car was slightly overheating and would "gargle" in the coolant bowl after I turned the engine off. It turned out to be the radiator was clogged up on one side.

I went full tilt and replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap and timing belt. I have 85,000 miles on the car and it was about time to do these things anyway. It is running like a new car now.
