Use the stock location behind the PS pulley. Theres a loom in there that held the stock wires. I pulled that for more room and surrounded the wires with convulted tubing so they dont touch metal.

yep, easiest way is to pull starter/altenator. get all from under the car except the front pass. there is a lip on the side of the head that u route the wires through on the side and on the front there is a routing thing on the front of the block just before the opti. just take your time and make sure to check and re-check to make sure wires arent touching manifolds/pulleys. some heat reflective tape of sleeves wouldnt hurt around the boots of the wires either. hope this helps.

Remove negative terminal from battery.
Remove serpentine belt.
LOOK at alternator you will see bolts that need to be removed.
Remove these bolts.
There will be some wires connected to alternator.
Remove these wires.
Remove alternator from vehicle.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Spend some time in the engine compartment just looking around and note some different things like where your coolant hoses go and how they are attached, or how the radiator is held in, working on your car is not hard if you have a little mechanical apptitude but you have to get in there and get dirty to learn.
Always keep track of your fasteners, I put mine in my toolbox as they are removed, it will save you the frustration of trying to find that crucial bolt that got kicked into the grass.

yeah, you HAVE TO remove the starter to get to the last one on the passenger side. Its not hard though. Just unbolt the two bolts and let it drop and rest on the y-pipe(if its not hot) because there are also two wires connected to the starter. Then do they plug/wire. then bolt up the starter.

Alt info
In Haynes there is a decent description (though not great) on page 5-7. This is the Cam/FB 93-2000 manual. It's pretty straight forward. Only catch was one of the wires connects in the bottom of the alternator and it is pretty hard to see or get to (I'm not particularly skilled) and had a little PITA clip.

There should be some space behind the accessory bracket after you remove the alternator to run the wires. It can't really be expained...you just gotta get under there and do it!
