From the bottom.

I'd remove the battery cable first. remove the wires from back of alternator, loosen adjuster, remove belt. remove bolt that hold alternator to bracket.

From under the car.

You may need to remove the plastic splash cover.

Re: (robfrmny21)

if it is the same as an ek then i would do it from the top. unbolt the master cylinder and move it slowly so u dont kink the brake lines out of the way do not remove the lines inless u want to bleed brakes. u should have more than enough room to get it out
