just had to repair my alternator just the other day actually...will have to replace it soon though. you need to take the serpentine belt off, disconect battery, unplug alternator and undo nut and bolt holding wiring loom. undo and remove 2 bolts at the front holding the alternator in place (one holds the support bract for the power steer pump) and the bolt on th back holding to the bracket (may be easier to just remove the bracket from the block as well)
i found it easier to do everything with the thermo fans out of the way too. just 2 10mm bolts at the top of the shroud and unplug the fan loom.
alternator just drops down and pulls out from under the car.
hope this helps
