I would love to, but I'm not that mechanically inclined. I thought the Alternator would be pretty simple though since that is just taking something sitting right on top of everything, out, and then running a shorter belt and hooking the leads to the solar panel to the battery (or batteries to get more millage from it) and then running the leads from where the alternator was connected to the stuff in the car, to the battery so everything still has power. On paper that doesn't sound too hard, but knowing my luck it would end up being hard.

How hard is it to disconnect the power steering? I can live without that, the A/C I can't really live without though because I use it to defrost my windows, but I never run it otherwise.
