Yes that helps alot, I'm understanding more and more now. What's the purpose of the "plastic air cone"? Insulation from the wires on the back of the alternator?
It's my understanding that there's no seperate regulator with alernators, just generators?

Early alternators did have an external regulator. Yours doesn't.
The "air cone" helps guide air from your fan down over the cylinders.
The fan is press fit and just slides off the alternator shaft, it may take some encouragement.
Do a search there is a lots of good information regarding this procedure. Also, don't bang o the alternator bolts to get it out of the housing, they deform easily. You'll see what I mean.
