I will know in a while as I have a 1995 Integra GS-R and will be installing a HO alt once I receive it. If your car is not a GSR then it should be much easier as the intake manifold in the non GSRs does not stick out as much. I think it will be a pain for the GSR but an LS, GS should be pretty easy.

I've got a 99' ex coupe. Single overhead 1.6 and my buddy has a 99' Integra with the ls. Theyre the exact same engine bay nearly and I'm debating whether I want to even mess with a high powered system in this car again because I don't want to have to get to that dang alt. The rep was right lol, the wheel, brakes and axles are the ONLY things in your way. I have the tools to do it, it's a tedious job though for sure.

Seth, why didn't you just call me? You have to remove the driver side CV joint to access the alt. Yours won't be as bad because you have an LS. All I can say is have fun. I've already done mine.
