Best way to remove alternator on DW8 with A/C and PAS

[jamesgmg]

Got the alternator unbolted and loose, but can't work out how to get it out of the engine bay and the new one in. It's blocked by a combination of the power steering, coolant and air con pipework.

I have just taken the air box and oil filter off, but still can't see a way out.

Anyone got the easiest method for getting it out?

No worries, unclipped the PAS pipe from the block and that allowed just enough wiggle room.
