Just use a screwdriver-small pry bar under the alternator to lift it and jam the bolt from turning. It got assembled so it should be able to be removed unless it got rusted in place.

Now I just have to get a mirror back there to see what my '84 has. If I did have the carriage bolt and needed to remove it to replace with a regular bolt, I was going to take a Dremel and cut off the nut and push the bolt back through.
