Ducy to Motorola swap in an '82

My '82 is supposed to have the Motorola alternator, of course, but somehow 
has the Ducellier that's only supposed to be in the '81's. (Yes, I'm 
positive!) When I first got the D and changed the belts, the mechanic told 
me the alternator belt size supplied by my DeLorean vendor in the minor tune 
up kit was the "wrong" size. I'm guessing that's because it's the wrong 
alternator, which I didn't realize when I bought the tune up kit. My voltage 
readings are usually low. 12 at best, frequently lower... 10 or less, 
especially with the a/c on.
Tomorrow morning I'm having a used Motorola installed. It came with the 
bracket arm attached. And I still have that correct "wrong" belt. Any other 
mods involved here? Do they use the same electrical connector plug, I hope? 
If not, HELP, what do I need to get? I'd really like it installed before I 
drive 5 hours to Richmond, VA. half afraid to use the a/c.
