alternator removal from the bottom?

'92 XJS, I keep reading that the alternator comes out the top after removing air pump. But could I drop one side of the antiroll bar and remove the alt from the bottom ? The reason I'd like to avoid the top method is because the wiring and vacuum tubing in my car is fragile from Miami heat and so the less I touch, the better.

When I acquired my '85 XJ-SC V12 earlier this year, I noticed very quickly that the alternator wasn't working.
Talking to an auto-electrician and he was wanting to take it out the bottom, after a fair amount of disassembly.
Going to a Jaguar Specialist and he said it was much easier coming out the top . . . and I gave the job to him.
Good luck with your car.

Following up on this post for future searchers. I took the experts advice and remove through the top. What I did to protect my stiff wiring was to remove the radiator hose and entire airbox, (and then of course the air pump). Easy job, unless you treat it like the kids game of "Operation" and are avoiding touching any hoses or wires in the vicinity.
