Son overheated car on freeway due to low oil. Now car does not even turn over. Just clicks. Battery is fully charged. I can't seem to find the starter motor. Engine may be frozen. Can seem to find repair manual at auto stores. Where is the starter motor and how can I get an engine diagram of some sort?

Look it the trunk on the car and they usually have a fantastic manual on repairing the vehicle.

I would suggest you try pulling out the plugs to eliminate any compression and then see if you can turn the engine over by hand or if the starter can handle it. I imagine that the walls of the cylinders are pretty scorched.
