disconnect the battery (unless you are daring with electricity)
remove the belt tensioner on lower rh of engine, turn with 3/8" ratchet
remove the bolt attaching ac line to engine lift bracket
remove bolts from lift bracket and remove bracket
remove the bolts and connector on the alt
reverse process to install

not trying to be a smartass, it literally is that straight forward and easy, only pays .7 hour to replace.

****tip**** swivel sockets are your friend

Yea my cousin was telling me the fan had to come out and what not thats why I asked.. My dad and I ended up getting it done in less than 2 hours. Thanks for the input.

Fan comes out in about 5 minutes if you've done them before FYI.
