Alternator originality question...

I remember reading somewhere, that if you want to keep your car original, that you should have your AC Compressor rebuilt as opposed to replaced when the time comes, because they are somehow numbered. Is the same true of alternators?

Thanks!

AC compressors I'd think a different conversation - it would be very dependent upon compressor design an R4 through '87 NO, a 'denso '88+ maybe.

Thanks for the replies...the one in there has already been replaced, so not looking like it's a concern after all...but thanks for the info!
