Thanks for this post
Don't know if i am too late for response, But you remove the Serpentine belt, I think you have to remove the Idler pulley.
Drop the A/C compressor by unbolting it from the Bottom, let it hang by the A/C line.
Now you should be able to reach all the Alternator bolts, and the Alternator comes out from the Bottom of the car, from where the A/C compressor is.
Yes, space are tight, it is a Bitch to wiggle it out if it is ur first time doing this job.

I used your information and replaced the alternator along with the decoupler pulley. Thanks for your help. The pulley came with the alternator from O'Reilly's Auto Parts.
