Default Alternator removal, help!

Hi guys, I'm having trouble getting my alternator off on my `97 TI. I took out the pulley attached to the left of it and the two long bolts in the back. Un-did the 10's on the black cap in the back but can't get that wiring off the rear of it or get the alternator off itself. Do I have to remove the tensioner pully below or what am I forgetting? Thanks for any tips.

take a small pry-bar between the engine/alt and the alt will come loose.
