The alternator is located between the engine & the firewall on the passenger side. You must remove the front right tire, cv assembly, for extrication from below. Not a simple job.

The alternator can be removed from the bottom and accessed from the top of the engine compartment. I have done this twice and it is not in Amy manual I learned it from a mechanic. I am not mechanically enclined so please take this for what it is worth. But I have done this twice, several years ago. There are support bars that block the view of the alternator from the top of the engine compartment. These are loosened and can be allowed to swing free by removing the bolt on one side. If memory serves me, there are two of these supports. You must have the car up on ramps to get at the alternator. With access from the top and bottom, the wiring to the alternator can be disconnceted. Loosen the alternator from its bracket. There is a bolt that it swings on and this can be removed. The alternator will fall and can be wedged out from under the engine compartment. Tight, but can be done. New alternator can be dropped from the top and put back into place. I did this several years ago, but was successful on a 1991 Capri. A buddy is helpful, but not necessary. Alocate at least two to three hours to do this.
