You will need to remove the engine cover, the plastic air intake to ECU housing, the auxiliary belt and its idler pulley (which I think hinders access to one of the alternator bolts), the power steering pump and it's bracket assembly. You can leave the pump to one side, wrap a cloth around it to catch any fluid, and I think that should give you enough clearance to manoeuvre the alternator out.
