Yep, they have an oil pump. But you might want to see if anyone has an oil cooler for '97. Or, you can peak under your car to see if you have 2 hoses going to the fixture above the oil filter.

Curious, are you using Quaker State?

95 was the last year that it was avliable, it's easy to see if you have one, and it's also possible that someone put one on it. Im putting one on my 96 when i rebuild my motor.

But that bought about another question you said i need to drain the oil or the coolant before i clean the oil cooler up. also if i were to remove the unit what would i need to replace it with! an as i think about it, i had the valve cover off not to long ago. cleaning around the edges and some did get into the motor! and that might be whats stuck in the oil cooler way. Thanks i will be working on this for sure this week!
You actually don't NEED to drain the coolant either, you can just clamp the hoses off gently so they don't leak, if you have something appropriate that won't hurt the hose. Just don't pinch it with plain vice grips or anything that will over-crush the hose, or you will get a weak spot. Oil doesn't need to be drained.

I don't know if any 97's have these coolers, either. Please let us know if yours does. It looks like this, Courtesy of Shoebox:
