If you dont want the hassle of removing the hood, you can cut a piece of 2x4 to the correct length, put some padding on the ends and prop it between the hood and engine bay opening. This pushes the hood open another 4-5 inches or so.
I've had space issues with the normal hood prop rod but when opened further with the 2x4, I've had enough room to work on changing alternator belt, changing plugs, distributor cap/rotor or valve cover gaskets.
