It is RHT a good way to get it loosened is put a tire tool on the bolt let the tire tool contact the ground and give the starter a bump. Works great if u dont have a impact wrench. I have done it on several engines works great. Make sure you dont have the plug wire's on you don't want it to start!
None
The transaxle ( transmission ) is in the engine compartment bolted to the engine ( it's on the drivers side of the engine )
I was looking at the 1997 Ford Escort owners manual ( for North America ) and it shows the only engine oferred was the 2.0 L SPI engine ( that is a Single Over Head Cam engine )
On the front of the engine. It keeps the belt tight.
That pulley is part of the water pump. The water pump has failed and needs replaced.
According to the 1998 Ford Escort Owner Guide : With engine oil filter change : Sedan / Wagon ( 3.8 litres / 4.0 U.S. quarts of engine oil ) ZX2 ( 4.25 litres / 4.5 U.S. quarts of engine oil )

For a 1999 Ford Escort ( according to the owners manual ) With engine oil filter change The ZX2 model with the 2.0 liter DOHC engine takes ( 4.5 U.S. quarts ) The sedan / wagon with the 2.0 liter SOHC engine takes ( 4.0 U.S. quarts )
As far as the sport center from city sport

Below and toward the center of the engine from the power steering pump is an idler pulley. Loosen the 15 mm bolt in that pully, but do not remove it. Then, just to the right and below (as viewed from in front of the engine) the water temperature sensor is another 15mm bolt. This is the tensioner bolt. Loosen it all the way, the new belt will not have streched yet and will not fit over the pulley if you don't. Reverse the proceedure to install, if you forget to tighten the pulley when you are done you will be doing it again real soon. Find the idler pulley tensioner and remove tension from the belt. It will then come right off.
Screwed into the lower intake manifold right at the center of the engine in front.
