The alternator is moved as far as she'll rotate and now up agaisnt engine block...We dont wanna remove fan/shroud etc unless we have to. Its 40 degrees and we are outside...any quick advice on cold Sunday would be tantamount certainly..

The other 2 belts(PS/AC) went without a hitch..burrrrrr cold!!
