I had the same problem with my 2002 SE. There are retaining nuts underneath that are rusted to and spinning with the screws. Your going to have to use a small pair of vice grip pliers to hold the nuts still while loosening the screw. Its possible to do this without removing the air filter box, but is probably a little easier with the filter box out (I did mine without removing, the top left nut was a little difficult to get to). I would suggest you use a ratchet for this opposed to a screwdriver. Once loose, spray a little wd-40 on the bolts and nuts to make it a little easier for next time.
