There is a pic of bolt locations. From the main Q and A page, click link for 'Replace
alternator for 1997 chevy...' about question #45. It is cavalier, but the same as yours. The
alt. comes up and out. With all dash lights on, i think you may have more then a bad
alternator (if it is bad). If car wont start, may just be a shorted out battery internally. That
would give many different electrical problems. If all lights on and car is running, then you
may have other electrical problems.
