Somewhere on the belt there should be a tensioer that is mouted to the engine or the alternator bracket. Turn it counter clockwise with a 15mm wrench and it should lift the tensioner enough to slide off the belt.
On my '96The tensioner is down and to the left of the alternator (looking at the engine from the passenger side fender)I had to replace the alternator just this weekend. The tensioner is loosened by putting a 15mm wrench on the center nut and rotating it to the right (toward the front of the car)

Loosen the serpentine belt by removing one bolt and loosening the other on the belt tensioner located in the top middle of the belt position. Remove the serpentine belt from the alternator. Next remove the 3 bolts holding in the alternator and unplug the wiring harness attached. The alternator should now be able to come free with a little coaxing depending on its condition. Repeat in backwards order when installing a new alternator.
Remove the serpentine belt. Tensioner is below Alternator. Remove the three mounting bolts on the tensioner baracket assembly. Replace entire unit.
If it is not serpentine - loosen the alternator mounting bolts and it should pivot allowing you to remove and replace If serpenting - relieve pressure on the tensioner and belt should be able to be removed
