i have a massive coolant leak above the alternator

I'll probably load up with jugs of water but it's gonna be annoying to only be able to get half a mile before filling up again

That bad huh... maybe a busted upper radiator hose, you can prob. handle that... cant really say for sure but have a look at if after you fill it up... And good luck!

I just replaced hoses and can't see from up top where the water is coming from I looked underneath and it literally looked like the alternator was leaking coolant I'm willing to rig it to get it going being that this car is a project of mine I will probably remove the hood and strap it to the roof I have an inverter that could power a blower too

Well that pretty much confirms it's not a diy/where it is fix, so i think you are doing the best thing! Shop can do a pressure test, if needed, to find the leak. Likely a water pump issue but as stated, can not say for sure!
