I have discovered that one of the bolts for the alternator (closest to the 
engine top cover) can not be installed because there is no room (for a wrench or 
socket) between the top cover - where the oil cooler cover goes - and the 
bolt. 

Grant,
I've run into this problem also.  My approach is to use a thin walled 9/16 
inch socket
on a wobble end extension.  In stall the rear most bolt first but don't 
tighten it.  Then 
install the forward one.  You will know the holes are in alignment and all 
you have to 
do is rock the alternator up and down a little to get the forward bolt to go 
in.  Then
secure the rear bolt.  I do it this way all of the time, no problem.
