88 alternator bracket removal

I'm having trouble remove the bracket it is on a 460 efi. But all it will do is pivot on the smog pump?

If it's like my '89 460, the alternator pivot bolt goes through the alternator and is threaded in the back of the large aluminum bracket/fixture on which the smog pump and the alternator are mounted to,


There's a seperate black steel bracket that is what serves as the adjustment track for the alternator.


If the aluminum bracket has to be removed from the engine block, there are some bolts nestled in some of the voids that you cannot see without a mirror, but you'll feel with your fingertips.

Does anyone know how to get the bolt in the void out if the head is stripped?
