A/c Compressor Removal

[Latoilette]

my compressor finally came home yesterday

and i've been looking under the hood to figure out my plans about doing this.

it seems like the alternator is in the way from the top view.

but manual says alternator does not need to be moved.

has anyone done this ?

if you can give me a few pointers on which direction i should pull the compressor out and if i will need to remove the alternator or not, i would really appreciate that.

try removing the right front tire and the plastic wheel well shield/shroud. Go at it from the bottom and from the right side, not from the top.
