Question Removing Alternator 1992 SC400? HELP!!

I'm taking the alternator off of my 1992 sc 400. I've got it off, but I can't seem to get it out from under the engine compartment. All the power steering pump hoses and the radiator hoses in addition to the fan shrowd housing prevent it from being removed from the bottom or the Top. Does any one have any suggestions or is there a trick to getting it out without having to take anything else off?

I usually pull it out from the top.. remove the main coolant hose (the one that connects from the thermo to radiator) and shove it to the left somewhere... and wiggle and jiggle the alternator out. Its a tight fit but it works. the hard part is holding the alternator with your fingers since its perdy darn heavy for a lil thing.

Goodluck
