You have to take all the accessories off the front. They all bolt to the heads, not just the ac and alt. Since you have never done this before I suggest you take your time and plan on having the car out commission for a few days to even a week if you encounter a major problem. You will need new head bolts, definitely! If your motor has never been apart your going to need all new gaskets. (head gaskets, lower intake gaskets, upper intake gasket, and valve cover gaskets). When you get the heads off, it might be a good idea to chase the bolt holes in the block with and under sized tap to clean them out of any crud. You will also need to borrow a torque wrench to re-instal the heads. Hope it all goes well! Good luck!
