Remove the radiator fan setup and you're 90% there. Remember to clearance the sleeves of the alternator bolt holes and you're new one will drop right in. Forget to do that and you will want to burn the truck.
All in, it's a 2 hour job taking your time. One of the easier tasks on the N62. I've done it at least 5 times.
