Here's a gotcha...
On '89 & newer(?) the hall-effect sensor for spark timing is located at the crankshaft pulley, with a wire going alongside the block towards the throttle body. DON'T pinch that wire under the alternator bracket. If you do, you'll get to remove the alternator all over again. (It'll be easier the 2nd time.) Plus you'll get to repair the wire which doesn't have enough slack to allow you to work... (Guess how I know?)
