Alternator removal in 98 Cobra with Vortec Supercharger

[peterlocal22]

Does part of the SC have to come out to replace the alternator?
Just noticed when facing the alternator the bolt on the right looks accessible but the bolt on the left has no chance?

Any info before I start?

thanks

It's been awhile, but on my vortech 97 cobra, you did not have to remove the blower. The alternator bolt on the left is actually a stud. From underneath, you could simple loosen the nut on this stud, along with the bolt on the right, and pop the alternator right out. If memory serves, I think I could get to it from the top of the car as well.

^Yes, but I remember I had to loosen all the blower bracket bolts then you can pull the alt out.
