2006 Renault Clio Alternator removal

Hello, The alternator in my 2006 Clio Campus has gone, I have a replacement, I've disconnected the battery and undone the electrical connections and both bolt which retain the alternator and it is now loose beside it's mounting brackets. I can't find any way to get it out of the car past the air con compressor or in any other wriggle. Do I have to strip anything else out please? If so what and, of course, how (especially ' how' if the front plastic grill etc need to come out) or am I missing a trick? Many thanks, Jon
