Do you have to remove the serpentine belt before removing the alternator?
No vehicle is specified, however, in all vehicles I have seen and/or worked on, the serpentine belt must be removed from the pulley that spins the alternator. NOTE: Some vehicles have another, separate, serpentine style belt that runs the a/c compressor and may have to be removed to remove the belt running the alternator. (Complete removal is not necessary unless the belt needs to be replaced.)

How do you replace the alternator on a 1997 Pontiac Firebird?
Hello, I have a 1997 Firebird V-6. It is right on top. Just remove the serpentine belt from the alternator, unplug the electrical connection on the back of the alternator, remove the mounting bolts and install the new alternator. I have not replaced one in my bird yet, but I checked the Hanes manual and it is the same. I am not a professional mechanic, but I have replaced a few in my lifetime. Good luck. John
