Alternator replacement?

[White Bullet]

Would'nt you know. I am in the process of moving (selling one house and buying another in different states) and working away from my home. Anyway I am living in a hotel and do not have my tools. On the drive here the alternator starts chirping. I first thought that the noise was in the radio until I stopped and checked under the hood. I have ordered a replacement and it should be here in a few days. What I need to confirm is that the alternator can be removed without pulling the plenum. I have seached around the forum and found hints that it is possible but very few details. So is it possible and if so what needs to be done. What tools are needed would be of help as I must borrow them to get the job done. Thanks.
