Default C6 and C5 Alternator Interchange?

Hi All,
Speaking purely about bolting up, will a c6 alternator bolt on a c5 bracket (are the brackets the same)?

Thanks

Has anyone else completed this swap and run it in a C5? I have a questionable C5 alternator and an early C6Z alternator sitting around from a stalled swap project.
