I just replaced the alternator on a 97 Sebring JXi convertible, 2.5L engine. I had to remove the four AC compressor mounting bolts so that the AC could be moved away from the engine enough to get a socket on the alternator pivot bolt. You do not need to break the compressor lines. I also removed the top mounting ear bolt and the bracket to make room to remove the alternator from the engine compartment. Of course the first thing you do is disconnect the negative battery terminal either at the battery or at the jumper cable location in the engine compartment. You also have to loosen the idler pulley and remove the belt. I removed the front right wheel and plastic cover to get to the pulley and belt. This also permits better access to the AC compressor bolts. I found it easier to get the alternator free before I disconnected the electrical wires.
When replacing the alternator on a 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible begin by removing the belt. Next, remove the wiring. Lastly, remove the retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new alternator.
Charge it, test it, replace it.

The windshield washer pump on a Chrysler Sebring convertible is replaced by disconnecting the wiring harness and unbolting the pump. It can then be lifted from its mounting bracket and a new pump put into place.
It is not a direct swap. They use different transmissions, computers, wiring, etc.

A 2001 Chrysler Sebring does not have a cabin filter.
It will bolt up, but I do not think you will have the power electrical connector.
Yes. The fuel tank must be removed to access the pump.
