Default Need some advice...

I have friend who has installed a 97 model LT1 and A4 into a 1963 Vette..The car will not have power steering , brakes or the air pump just mainly the basics..

He wants to take the large 140 amp alternator off and install a smaller one lower in the engine compartment to give the engine a cleaner look..

Does anyone know if installing a smaller , lower amp unit will be power the engine correctly ??

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated very much...

Also I use to have the address where you could buy the LT1 /LS1 edit program could somene help with this one also ??

as long at the alternator he chooses puts out more power than the car is using, he will be fine.
