On this step:
I'm not quite sure where this bundle of wires is?
and on this step:
Maybe I'm not sure what sensor is being referred to? Is it the one on the passenger side attached to the oil pan? If so, I don't see a way to remove the wires other than unscrewing it?
lastly:
I'm having a hard time finding the nut on the back of the alternator - all I can see/feel is a rubber boot?
Any advice? Thanks a bunch!

Step 17 FIREWALL WIRING
There are 2 bundles of wire coming from the interior of the car through a grommet on the lower portion of the firewall behind the passenger-side wheel housing. Remove the grommet carefully, carefully pull the wire into the engine bay, just enough to zip-tie the connectors to the engine bay. Dont let them fall back in or you will have to start pulling stuff out of the interior.

Odds are the connectors are clipped to something inside.
Most people just remove the side panal and kick panel then unplug them.
Then pull the grommet from the engine bay.
No, it's best to disconnect the Harness from the Car and leave it with the Engine. Just leave all the loose harness on top the intake and it will fall out with the engine....
Best way is out the BOTTOM, though it's a lil tough if you do not have a car lift..... It can be done as I did it that way the first time...
My Bro ended up sittiing on the R R corner of the car as it wanted to sag on the L F.... Oh what fun....

YES, U have to go under the car and drop the starter, disconnect the Oil level sender and the Crankshaft sensor. Pull that harness up on top the A/C Evap unit.
Then everything else will drop out with the engine.
Forgot to mention that....
