Access to the alternator is much easier if you remove the passenger side mud shield. To do that, lift the front of the vehicle, put it on jack stands or some other secure and stable blocking. Remove the passenger side front wheel, then examine the mud shield and find the pins that hold it in place. Carefully remove the pins and work the mud shield out of the fender area.
With the mud shield removed you should be able to see the alternator and get to the other components at the head end of the engine.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery! If you work on the alternator with the battery connected, bad things will happen!
Release the serpentine belt tensioner.
Remove the bolts holding the alternator.
Carefully disconnect the electrical connections to the alternator and note which wire goes to which terminal on the alternator.
When replacing the alternator, just do everything in reverse order.

Where is the voltage regulator on the 2001 Saturn SC2?
The voltage regulator on alternators of almost all modern vehicles (including all Saturn's), is INSIDE the alternator. When rebuilding an alternator it is relatively simple to replace the regulator at the same time you replace brushes, bearings and other components, but if you haven't done it before and don't have someone knowledgeable to guide you through the process, don't try to rebuild an alternator yourself.
