I agree, I don't think the AC has to get out of the way for the alternator. In
fact I know I've had the alternator out of Dimitri's 240D without disturbing
the AC, pulling the alt is pretty easy...

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Overheating 240D update
I'm running into the difficulty you had when replacing the hose. I
have to repair the teeth on the upper alternator housing - the part
that engages the toothed bolt. The teeth in the alt bracket are
gone and I plan to repair them but to do that I'll need to remove
the York AC Compressor and probably the Alternator and bracket as
well.
I considered removing the compressor completely but it still has gas
in it after 3 years of not being used so it's a tight system. But
we never use it so I may as well...
Good luck!

You should be able to unbolt the compressor with hoses attached from
the bracket, then tie it back. That way you don't have to open a
good sealed system.
Also, my memory is not clear, but I'd look very carefully from
underneath. I am pretty sure it is possible to remove the alt and
brackets from under the car. It should be much easier than messing
with that dogawful bracket and disturbing a working york.
