The + cable is under the coolant hose. You have to take the bracket out that holds in the coolant hose near the alternator then you have to force the hose upwards. Tie it up somewhere on the top end of the engine with something weak like a phone cord or something just to temporarily hold it up. Then you'll see the nut that holds in the thin wire that's supposed to be the alternator positive.

I used to have the big 3 mod on my 03 Grand Am. Taking it off was also the reason why I busted that screw on the alternator before selling it. Moral of the story is that it's in a tough spot to get, but don't be afraid to look for it. and don't over tighten that nut
