Stock alt is fine - as long as you don't install underdrive pullies with BlackMagic fan..

We've got one on our 88GT project and it works great, radiator went bad on us - so we put a Fluidyne in and temp never really gets higher than 195 (traffic) with a 180 stat.

We've got ours strapped to the ignition -so it only comes in when iginition is on. We did upgrade to a 3G alt because our stock one was bad. Only thing I would suggest is you put a switch to kill the fan while you're trying to crank the motor. With the starter and fan pulling lots of amps from the battery - the motor kicks over slow.
