But wait - it's gets better.

Plenum off. Maybe it dropped under there, or even UNDER the A/C comp. It has to come off anyway, because the lower TB bolt bailed, between the A/C comp, and the alternator.

Let's lift the A/C comp. Nope - the forward inboard A/C comp bolt is too recessed under alternator to get the 10mm socket on it - slipped once. 10mm box slipped too. Pull the alternator, BEFORE we round off the 10mm hex, to something that will load in a 9mm shell casing.

Then the alt field output nut seized on the bolt, and the bolt turned in the case. Di-electric grease glue??? WTH? Needle-nosed pliers on the output wire ring, 10mm on the nut.

The wire ring broke. MF'er.

Now - is the alternator toast, with the field output INTERNAL bolt connection broken?

Can of worms? Hardly. You can only get so many worms in a can. How many worms can you get in an LT5?

I'll let your great grand-kids know.
