The Delco I had needed to have the lower bolt hole reamed out a little to accommodate the bolt that screws into the block, I mcgyvered a top adjustment bracket and attached the wires. Pretty rough and ready, byt works fine...oh yeah a couple of carriage washers to bring the alt forward so that the pulleys all lined up.
Others talk of buying kits for this....whole job only took me an hour or so .
I dispensed with the old gen bracketry...although in a pinch I think it could be used as a alt hanger.
What else? As others said a multimeter and you are off to the races....if in wiring doubt google alternator 101
