I would go to the local pick-a-part and get a newer CS style alternator from a mid 90s gm vehicle and do the conversion. It's rated at over 100amps and has much better output at idle. It runs cooler and works better. The only thing to remember is to get the plug and about a foot of harness with it. It runs the serpentine pulley but the v- belt is just a remove and replace fix.
here's the conversion.
