I know that the generic answer to this is "check with your GM and if he allows it...," but it's for a PFS character and therefore is not completely up to the GM's whim.
I'm rolling up a random character (because it's the only way I'll ever stop doing the same thing over and over) and came up with a tiefling arcane bomber wizard.
The arcane bomber archetype gives up focused schools in order to use bombs.
The tiefling wizard favoured class option is focused school related.
The alchemist favoured class option is bomb related.
It would make sense that such a character would use the alchemist favoured class option, but nothing in the archetype descriptor allows for this. I couldn't find anything in the FAQ's about this or a similar situation.
The simple answer is that the rules say the character can't use the alchemist FCO on wizard levels. I'm fine with that. But it also seems like the type of situation (the normal FCO being eliminated by the archetype) where there would be some sore of caveat. Is there, for this situation or any other race/archetype situation that may have had the same effect?

An Arcane Bomber Wizard is a wizard, thus gets the Favored Class options of a wizard.
The tiefling wizard racial specific Favored Class option doesn't apply because you don't have an arcane school power as an Arcane Bomber Wizard.
So, you just get +1 hitpoint or +1 skill point as your favored class options.
Similar Example: A tiefling Vivisectionist Alchemist would not be able to add to hit bomb damage due to having traded out his bombs for sneak attack.
