S1 is the old system, which was much less customisable but much easier to customise if that makes any sense. :) So you're probably thinking of that? You can switch to it from the themes page on very bottom left under the Developer Area link and search around in there (if you haven't already). It will likely fudge up your current layout though, until you switch back. It's also no longer supported by LJ.
Custom S2 layouts do let you do what you're talking about. You basically have to re-code everything for each page.
