Pull the engine - it's much easier to do the head gaskets properly that way. You should do some research on the EA82T before you decide to tackle this. That's a POS engine and most people just throw them out. I wouldn't bother doing the HG's on it - especially if this is your first time. It's already a finicky engine and thowing in an amature that doesn't know what they are looking at or have experience with the proper way to do the job.... could easily go sideways.

I typically charge $100 for a tested alternator with the correct pulley, etc for your application. I can install it for an extra $20 if you would like. I will need to pick up some Maxima alts (I'm out just at the moment but I'll be hitting some yards tomorrow or Friday I hope). I will need to know what belt style yours is running - single groove or double-groove pulley.

Not that bad - the head gaskets are accesible..... but if you can help it you should pull the motor and put it on a stand - much easier access and easier to clean/prep surfaces, etc. I've done it but I don't anymore - I always pull engines for that level of work.
