You need to make space for the alternator to be detached and removed by rotating the engine forward, dropping the subframe and removing the Power Steering lines, the fuel pressure connection. This is also after disconnecting the Neg batt cable, the belt, the manifold cover, and removing part of the windshield wiper assembly.
Rotate the engine by attaching and using a ratchet type tiedown strap to pull the engine forward after partially removing the brackets that secure the engine were it is. These brackets are right there attached to the radiator support frame.
You also drop the sub frame for the same reason (ie. to make more room).
You use a floor jack under the sub frame, and drop the frame after you have removed the front bolts.
I'm working with the assumption that you know you have to do all the other things that you need to do if it was easy to get at.

how do you change a brake booster valve to a 1998 Pontiac transport
you have to remove the front suspension, and the cradle or frame that is bolted and holds the engine in.that is the only way to get to the oil pan.
On your alternator, there should be two bolts on either side of the alternator. Losen the surentine belt up enoungh to slide off the pully of the alternator. Remove the two bolts on both sides of the alternator and slide the alternator up.

You remove no pulleys. Just loosen the belt and then remove the alternator.
