i just did myn in my driveway, on a 87 you gotta loosen the bracket for the power steering pump, ( the usual slide the alternator down or off.. makes more room and releases the belt) Then its mainly 4 bolts, transfer the pully on to the new one and bolt it back up(dont forget gaskets), tighten the power steering pump bracket, and tighten up the alt/belt...

DO NOT, forget to have a drain bucket because if u live in a place similar to me you may have dead cats under your car in the morning
