It, like the one linked above, is in a slightly larger case. It does fit within the stock bracket and stock LS1 fbody location. I'm not familiar enough with the 1st gens to say for sure that it would fit, but probably.
Not sure if you considered switching to a Corvette system. It would relocate the alternator entirely. It will reside up high on the passenger side of the motor. You would need a balancer and tensioner from a vette. I helped a friend do an LS swap into an 81 Camaro and the K member was tight with the F Body setup in regards to the alternator. Here is a pic of his motor now.
