Good evening,

Yes, the alternator needs to be moved off to the side to remove the blower motor.

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect blower motor electrical connections.
3. Remove serpentine drive belt, then the alternator bracket bolts. Position alternator aside.
4. Remove vent tube.
5. Remove blower motor attaching screws, then the blower motor.
6. Reverse procedure to install.

Yes. You need to move it out of the way. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Basically you need to remove the belt and then the bolts that are holding it in. There are normally three. the instructions and picture below show two of them and the third should be visible once these are out of the way.

Let us know if you still can't figure it out and we will get more detail. Thanks
