This week I replaced the alternator and both belts on an 89 toyota pickup. To do this I had to remove part of the air filtration system, the distributer cap and router, the power steering pump, and one of the hoses coming out of the water pump.
The bearings were going out in the alternator so it was making a horrible grinding noise but before I knew this when you opened the hood you would just hear the noise not exactly where it was coming from. I learned that a stethoscope with the metal end removed is a very handy tool to have. It allows you to listen in in close areas where you can't stick your head and identify exactly where a noise is coming from. I would recommend that every one has one.
