95 2.3 NA short belt mod & alternator questions

Hi everyone.
I'm an experienced 9000 wrench, but this is but my second NG900. In the past few days it's making a high-pitched whine that changes with engine speed, and I notice the flat side of the serp belt is rather the worse for wear.
However, last time I heard a similar noise, 'twas my Dad's alternator in his 92 9000.
So two things. One, can a person perform the short belt mod on a NA engine? Seems possible to my eyes but I daren't make assumptions.
Also, if this does turn out to be the alternator, do I have the same expletive-intensive removal process in store, or are the non-turbo models perhaps a bit easier in this regard, like they are in 9000s?
God willing this will be a noisy pulley and not the alternator, and it'll be considered a-ok to do the short belt mod.
Thanks!
