Matching A6 Compressor Question

My compressor has a date code of A098 which I assume to be January 09, 1968. My 70 Corvette has a born date of June 24, 1970.

is my January 9, 1968 interpretation Correct?

is it reasonable for this date of compressor manufacture to be original to a car born on this date?

So far, it seems to be a fairly complete matching numbers car except for the 61 amp alternator.

I am also interested in hearing from others regarding the highly sought after matching numbers alternator 1100884 and their experience with locating one for less than the $800-1300 it appears being asked as well as what date code range I should be looking for.

I highly doubt a January 09, 1968 part was installed on a June 24, 1970 car. It has been my experience that most of these dated parts were still warm from the foundry when installed.
