A better way is to raise the motor a little so you don't have to disconnect the hose and make a mess. I just put a long 2x4 under the oil pan and use a jack to support the engine while I remove the passenger side motot-mount bolt. Then just keep raising the motor until you have enough room to remove the alternator.
I found that it also helps to remove the bracket that holds the radiator reservoir, it's just one 10mm bolt.
Out of all the alternators I've changed out (4), I have never been able to take it our without removing something or raising the motor.
