Tie rod replacement and completed picture of alternator replaced but need a completed picture of it and top of engine because I took it through top. I took a part off by the A/C and I'm not sure how it mounts but it's a control switch of some sort hooked to top of engine but mounted by canister. Thank you

Start by disconnecting the battery, it looks like the alternator is removed through the opening in the fender well. Here is a generic guide on the steps to see what you are in for when doing the job and i have included the instructions for your car in the images below.
