I once had to replace an alternator on a Peugeot 308, ended up cursing and got a cold (was working in a snow storm as the car was needed next day) because it was impossible to fit my hands where I had to work, so everything was super slow.
Was it a difficult job? I know they can be a tight fit sometimes. Especially on some trucks where they don't give you any room in-between the motor and radiator

Thanks. I made it myself. Turned out to be quite the conversation piece as it gets a ton of comments from my customers.

Not really. I removed the intercooler hose and an air duct out of the way and there was a decent amount of room to do it from the top.
