That noise was your alternator belt that is too loose.

We checked that already

Why would anyone remove the engine just to change an alternator???

Hi Charles, I believe the correct way is to remove the fan shroud and due to the oil cooler, the easiest way to remove the fan shroud is to remove the engine (assuming you have the right equipment - car lift and transmission jacks)
