I just replaced my alt. a couple months ago. Service manuals say to disconnect exhaust downpipe and take it out from the bottom. This may be because 900s had a cruise control module/box blocking access from above? It must be 9-3s with T7 (2001-02) didn't need this. I disconnected the belt, removed the tensioner, unbolted the alternator and set it down on the subframe, then unbolted the alternator bracket. Then there was just enough room to lift it out the top. A tight squeeze, and you still have to jack up and remove the front passenger side wheel and take out the splash shields to access the alt bolts, but I had it done in ~4 hours.
