taking a motor mount out and a floor jack does the trick

Yes, unless they put stuff in the way on older ones and got rid of it by 91 I am correct. I did this on a 91 EF hatch without any of the headache you guys are talking about.
That might be it then. Mine was an 89 CRX Si.

Yeah man, it comes out the bottom no problem at all, you can just drop it right underneath or you can just pass it easily along the bottom over to the drivers side, pop out your CAI and pull it up. Thats what I did

Everyone has their own way of taking out alternators, EF's you can sneak them out through the fenderwell, EG's wont sneak out unless the brackets off. The easiest way I have ever down a EG is just take the intake pipe off and slide it around the backside of the engine ontop of the tranny. Taking a axle out is another method, or on B-series its just way tighter and you can loosen the front engine mount and use a 4 foot pry bar and move the engine forward and the alternator will slide out between the rear cross member and axle (as cadracer mentioned) but you really need a lift for that.

I also have seen some people just loosen up the mastercylinder mounting and leave the lines connected so you dont have to bleed the brakes and master.
