80s belt/alt



Does anybody know if my '83 would likely have a 100 amp alternator?  I 
assumed they'd all be the same, since there were no options, but the NAPA 
site indicates at least 2 alternators. I have to disconnect my a/c and leave 
the compressor off because it interferes with my new intake.  I figured I 
could get the belt from a Cordoba/Mirada with no a/c, since my belt will no 
longer be going around the a/c pulley.  Problem is that the NAPA site 
indicates different part numbers for 100 amp and non-100 amp alternators. 
Worse, it indicates that the belt is the same for a 100 amp with or without 
a/c! That can't be right. The belt would have to be considerably shorter.

Any ideas appreciated. Yes, I have the FSM, unfortunately they are with my 
mechanic.  He could take care of all this, but he's been doing me a favor 
and I'm trying to make the job go faster and easier (cheaper).

Thanks.
Rob
