I think my alt wire is screwed up here. It's been wrapped in black electricians tape, and it runs over the top of the coil packs. This can't be right? I wonder if it got shredded when the prev owner broke the SC belt. No operational problems at this time, just looks goofed up.

That's the way mine was stock, exactly like yours. I put split loom on mine and routed it under the plug wires and wiring harness, but still over the blower.

Yeah, the loom appears to have a bigger clip to hold this wire as a stock location. I might have to pull it off and run it back under the plug wires. With the shield on in the winter, it rubs on the wire, and has worn a small notch in it.

Instead of disconnecting the alt wire, you can disconnect your plug wires from the coils and tuck it under them. Up to you, some don't like to touch the plug wires, but I pull them off quite a bit.
