S3 Alternator.

Can a stock GSL-SE alternator handle a taurus e-fan and air conditioning?

Thanks,

Mike

I know my GS alternator was a 55amp, and it did well to hold all the original electrical.

I switched over to a S4 Alternator, the 70 amp one. Which is a direct bolt on to the engine. If you choose this course though, you need to wire your battery directly to the alternator with 10 gauge wire and a 80a Fuse, So that way you don't blow through your fusible links. I went through one before i figured that out.
