Default Alternator mounting

I've done a ton of searching/research and still trying to find the best way to get my alternator onto my LS 402 swap in my 98 vette A4. I found a post that talked about bolting in a Ford Ranger alternator into the existing AC bracket which is cool with me, but can't find the electrical schematics to make this work so I'm a little worried about that (all pics links are broken in the posts talking about this) Can anyone share info or experience doing this?

Basically I'm trying to keep from using the stock bracket since it's a bit heavy and I like the idea of clearing up some space in the top portion of the motor.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Try sending a PM to the guy that did it. I believe he posted in the FI section about how he did it.

It’s a cool mod and one I’m likely to do as well.
