Default Alternator Removal

Can you remove the alternator from the top of the car ? 2004 350z with Vortech Supercharger that has intercooler feed lines directly under the alternator. Also has induction pipe crammed-up against radiator fans. Total nightmare. Just replaced the power steering pump last week which is right above the alternator; wasn't easy. Whoever the engineer was that designed this car had no idea that removing the long power steering pump and alternator " BOLT " is a real joke. Thanks for any reply. john.valliere@yahoo.com

You probably could if you take the PS pump off ...

bc the nissan engineer anticipated a vortech supercharger being put on every car that rolled off the factory ... lol

EDIT: after looking at my car I think it'd be impossible to remove the alt from the top...
