Isn't the whole front of your car off? It should be a snap! The alt is held on by one long bolt on the bottom (with the nut on the backside), and the tensioner adjustment on top. The bottom is self explanitory. For the top, remove the nut that faces forward, then undo the long adjustment bolt out the side. Don't forget to disconnect the power lug, the 2-pin alt control connector, and the little grounding strap. Where the alt connects to the engine bracket on the bottom is really tight, so you might have to pry that part free. If you're having problems clearing certain things to get it out, the upper adjustment bracket should come off with only 2 12mm (or 14mm?) bolts on the front.
