I replaced my alternator awhile back, and it was not too hard. If I remember, I just unbolted the plenum and propped it up with a wooden hammer handle (I purchased one at Home Depot just for plenum work). You do not have to disconnect the ignition module or connections on the rear of the plenum. You will have to drain coolant by syphoning off some coolant from the upper resivor to below the inflow/outflow lines. Replace your plenum gaskets (Jerry's Gaskets) and torque using the sequince indicated in the Service Manual.

I have had my plenum off maybe half a dozen times. The first time was intimidating! After that, no sweat.

Some of the other guys might want to jump in here also.
