removing the a/c is the easiest way in my opinion. once you drop the a/c you have access to that pain in the but bolt, the rest is a piece of cake.

+1

And you should be able to do the whole thing with sockets, especially with a flex head ratchet

You must remove the 4 bolts to the ac compressor and let it drop a few inches, otherwise there isn't enough room to get alternator out. There's also a bracket near the top of the compressor for holding some wires that I also removed. This dropped the compressor another inch and gave me plenty of room to get alternator out.
