There should be 2 bolts for the Alternator and another bolt for the bracket (3 total). Removing the bracket isn't a necessity but does make things easier to re-install.

There are 2 connections. One is a weather pack that is very difficult to see (you may have to feel around the top for it), and another is the ground (more easily seen). If you've got all of that covered, it should come off no problem.
