Air con EFI SD1s were fitted with a 75 amp alternator, although you might find it not listed by some suppliers.
I got a bargain of a new 100 amp A127 type (integral fan) made by Marelli from a private seller on Ebay, and persuaded that to fit my SD1 EFI. You need a new alternator pulley and to make a spacer for one mounting. However, 100 amp could be above the limit for a V belt if you actually need it for much of the time, as mine still sometimes squeals after a cold start with a low battery.
The integral fan type is handed and can't be changed so you need to get the correct one.
