My 2004 alternator on the V6 has three fasteners that have to be removed to remove the alternator. The pivot bolt,the stay bolt and the adjustment bolt. Once you loosen the pivot bolt and the stay bolt, the adjustment bolt can be turned back to loosen the belt enough to remove the other bolts for alternator removal.

On the V6 it is above the AC compressor and driven by the same belt. On the front of the engine and passenger side. You have to relieve the belt tension and remove the mounting bolts. Also remove wiring. Warning: The alternator has a hot wire. Remove battery ground before working on alternator.
