You are correct, there is an access in all 2000-2005 Montes for the fuel pump in the trunk. It is under the carpet in the trunk between the spare tire well and the back seat. It's a oval shaped metal cover bolted to the floor of the trunk.

Does not matter if it is an ls or ss, both packages have the access panel. There will be a series of bolts you need to remove to pull the panel out. It's not a huge panel, maybe 12x6 inches give or take.
Can you post a pic of what you are looking at?

Have you lifted all the carpet? I believe the access panel is off center toward the passenger side. That pic looks dead center where the split in the carpet is.
