I'd like to find somewhere with pictures and information on how to loosen the belt and such so I can get the alternator out easily. Thanks!

I think it's a 6000 Sedan. We just recently got it. I am almost 98% sure that's what it is.

Model of Pontiac would be nice to know.
For the 6000 Instructions with some pictures can be found here:

Get a repair manual for your car at your local auto parts dealer.
Belt tensioner is spring loaded.....Usually a 1/2" drive breaker bar or an 15 or 18MM? wrench to pry back...remove belt and slowly release pressure from tensioner. 2 to 3 bolts, wires (disconnect Neg battery wire) and it's out. Reverse for install.
Battery voltage should be around 14 volts when engine idling. No more than 16 or batter will cook.

Chilton's is the best in my opinion.
Your public Library is the cheapest, if they have the book that includes your car. 1991 should not be too hard to find yet. You can purchase this or competing manuals from your local auto parts dealers. The quickest would be subscribing at this site, but it will cost you:

All your mechanical questions can be answered at the public library, have the librarian show you the Chilton's repair manuals for the year of your ride and look it up. A little bit of knowledge and the right tools and you'll be under way/
