Default Will a c6 alternator work on a c5?

I'm looking for the accessories for my 1998 vette and I came across a good deal on a c6 ls3 alternator. I don't have a c5 alternator to compare it to. Will a c6 alternator interchange with a c5? Will it bolt up to the c5 bracket? Do they have the same connections?

Have you tried an ad in the parts section of the forum....someone might have one laying around.
Just put WTB 1998 good condition alternator...there may be several years that would work.. I just don't know them... sorry.
