The difference between APPROACH minimums, and ALTERNATE minimums:
APPROACH minimums are stated on each approach plate, for instance, 200 ft. ceiling with 3 mi. visibility. It's a real-time minimum, because it only affects whether or not you can begin that particular instrument approach. On arrival, you check the airport's weather (METAR, for instance) ...

This is a total shot in the dark. And, I have no citations for this. I always assumed that the a left-hand traffic pattern and a right-hand hold for a missed approach put the aircraft on the same side of the extended runway centerline. Presumably, this would be a more “protected” side of the airspace. Since standard traffic patterns for fixed wing aircraft ...

It depends on what you filed in your flight plan. To what point were you cleared? The key word in AIM 6-4-1,a.3. is “ When the clearance limit is a fix from which an approach begins”.
(c) Leave clearance limit.
(1) When the clearance limit is a fix from which an approach begins,
commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to ...

You can descend from 4300' to 2600' as soon as you pass ZUNAD, as long as you remain in the protected airspace of the hold at ZUNAD.
It is the same situation if you were "Cleared for an approach" in a non-radar environment.

Plus request a "No Gyro" approach from ATC or request vectors to an airport that has that capability if you have fuel to make it there.

Buy one of the devices that gives you GPS plus AHARS, and make sure that it’s calibrated with ForeFlight and your iPad on EVERY FLIGHT. THen in the bizarre situation that your vacuum AND electric fail simultaneously you can STILL land using just your iPad. Oh... and for sure check this by flying an approach with an instructor and failing ALL instruments to ...

GdD’s answer is accurate (up vote). My answer will be more step by step.
The first thing you should do is recognize the issue. That might not be immediately easy depending on your aircraft and it’s electronics suite. If there is no visual and auditory alert, you will have to wait for the gyros to wind down to a certain extent.
Immediately announce to ...

Your scenario isn't really realistic, the turn coordinator and the AI are almost always on different sources of power to protect against this very event. The TC is almost always electrically driven because it gives an alternate source of information.
A loss of an instrument or even a whole suite of instruments is something instrument rated pilots train for,...
