Alternator off, ac compressor off and to the side. Big bracket that holds them on needs to be removed and you have access to the big nut where the thermostat hides.

The water pump will need to come off as well, no way the thermostat will come out with it in place.

You can get them out and in without removing the water pump. Just takes a bit of wiggling around.
