He got to it removed the power steering pump and disconnected the radiator hose. After that he got the alternator out from the bottom (a lot of knuckle busting) and put the new one back in there and helped us put the Serpenting belt back on. Rest we finished the Job and the LOUD VACCUM NOISE is gone.

Next it Radiator Replacement and off-course I am calling the same dude to do it.
Do you mind letting me know how much did you pay for the Craigslist guy? Bc I'm gonna do water pump and timing belt when wheather getting warmer. I'm afraid that I get stuck like you guys had. Thank you !

I paid the guy $150 for Alternator as it was Emergency Situation
Later when i did the Radiator, he charged me $125.

Any chance you'd be willing to share the guy's contact info? (privately if need be) Is he based out of CT? It could be handy to have someone to call for situations like that.
