I don't know whether your done with this by now but I just did an 89 a couple weeks ago and I couldn't get the Hex Head nuts loose.
So instead,I loosened the bolt on the bottom that the Alt pivots on and sawed off the head since it wouldn't pull all the way out without hitting the firewall. I was then able to just remove the other bolt at the top and gimmy the unit out.
To reinstall it I removed the Oil Filter and the the bracket that holds it (3 very easy bolts to remove) and then shoved the Alt pivot bolt in the opposite way with the nut on the firewall side. It was a piece of cake using this method. (While I was at it and had the Oil Filter off I changed the oil)
Good Luck,
Greg
