Disconnect the battery. Unplug the alternator and take the belts off. Unbolt the alternator, and bolt the new one in. Put the belts back on it. Plug it back in and reconnect the battery. Voila! You changed your own alternator!

It is pretty straight forward. 1) Diconnect battery 2)Loosen bolts at top and bottom of alternetor, remove belt. 3)remove plug in terminal, and wire attached with nut on back of alt. 4)Remove top and bottom bolts, remove Alt. 5)Install new Alt. Install top and bottom bolts. 6)Install plug in terminal, and wire attached with nut on back of alt. 7)place belt back over pully, set belt tension by prying gently with a long screw driver so as belt only deflects about 1/4 inch when hand pressure is applied. Hold this setting and tighten top and bottom bolts. 8)Reconnect battery.

The fuel pump is located in the top of the tank so you'll want to drain the tank first if possible. There is an access hole in the top of the fuel tank that you'll need to access through the trunk. I think you'll need to replace at least one gasket or o-ring between the cover and tank and another around the flange on the pump. The fuel sender is also part of that whole asembly.
