To answer the question for other people searching for this; if you remove the top bolt for the alternator, take the belt off, swing the alt towards the passenger side, squeeze your hand between the cooling fan and the alt, and use some super long angled 3/4" hose-grip pliers, you can shimmy the old hose off and the new one on.
When I went to loosen the hose clamp on the old hose, the head snapped off the clamp because it was so old. I had to use a big pry bar up against the alternator to pry the hose off. Wasn't a big deal since I had a pry bar, but if I didn't I would have been screwed.
