2007 saturn outlook crankshaft position sensor location

The crankshaft sensor is behind the timing belt so it is a very large and technical job that requires removing the timing belt. You should also plan on installing a timing belt kit in the process. If you have never done a timing belt on an engine like this you may want to enlist professional help. One mistake in this area can cost you an engine.

So if I don't have the equipment needed to program it, I probably shouldn't even do the replacement myself?

That is correct.
By the way what issues are you having in order for you to change the crank sensor?

I'll copy/paste from my initial question: "Ran rough. Drove fine on flat surface, dogged and/or shut off on any incline. 016 error. Now won't start. Replaced CVV intake and exhaust solenoids. Replaced cam sensor. Code 340 or 341 somewhere along this process.". I replaced the MAF, CVV's and cam sensor based on research into the codes below. I found the location of the crank sensor tonight, but if I need equipment I don't have to program/re-learn, I'm not going to replace it myself. I'm limited physically to do some things.

Keep in mind that this issue can be triggered by the sensor not getting proper voltage.
I have attached the troubleshooting guide for these codes below, it could help you with the diagnostics.
