The AC compressor does not require complete removal. Remove mounting bolts and move aside, carefully.

SOURCE: removing alternator on a 2006 ford fusion v6
the alternator probably is accessable from the underside of the car without removing the compressor, which would require extensive knowledge and expensive equipment. the best thing to do is purchase a repair manual. this inexpensive investment has detailed procedure and pictures to help you tackle this repair.
SOURCE: Can someone tell me how to change a starter on a 2006 ford fusion
For a 4 cylinder, take negative battery cable off, raise and safely support car, it's from underneath. There may be an underbody cover, 7 screws, then on the starter only two electrical connections, battery cable big nut (plastic cover aside first), and small wire nut, both connections on the starter solenoid. Then the starter mounting bolts, a bolt on top side, and a stud on the lower or bottom side, they kind of angled in, one on top, and the stud on the bottom. When those two loose, starter is free. Oh, yes, on the stud mount is a wire harness retainer, off that and set aside.
Reinstall in reverse. Torque: starter motor bolt and stud bolt-18 ft/lbs. battery cable nut -9 ft/lbs. small wire nut - 44inch/lbs. just snug. don't need a torque wrench on any of them, use your best judgement. 18 ft/lbs is pretty solid tight without agonizing it, 44 inch pounds is like 3 1/2 ft/lbs-use a tiny box end wrench or socket and just tight so the wire is not loose.
