What was the purpose of the 120 amp alternator option in 1985 Vette. Also the oil cooler and heavy duty cooling system good option or troublesome?

In LATE 1985 K09 was the 120 amp alternator it had more amperage and better cooling than the EARLY K90 108 alternator all I know

my 85 Z51 had V08 Heavy duty cooling which was RPO VO1 HD radiator + added cooling fan and RPO KC4 Engine oil cooler.and ithe extra coolinf was a PLUS here in Florida with a 160 stat car ran in the 160-180 range all the time
