In Process of changing Alternator. Need Quick Help!!

Hey guys so I have everything unbolted, the AC compressor and the cooling fans. The alternator is not attached to the mounting brackets anymore. How the hell do you get it out of the engine bay? There physically isnt enough room.

Thanks in advance

i'm not under mu car nor am i in a sitch where i can run and look, but i'm thinking that it either comes out the top or you'll need to move the a/c compressor out of the way. i'm assuming the compressor has been unfastened but the lines are still attached... the compressor can be jacked with with the lines still attached.

...wait... lemme quick look at the FSM. be right back.

here's what the FSM says:

removing the fans gives you alot moree room to work with. take off the fans. unbolt the compressor and move it aside and just jiggle the alternater out.
