the n/a (4age) alternator is nowhere near the same. The corolla (4afe/7afe) is nowhere near the same as it has a different clock position from the 4age alt, but that's it -- the lower mount is the same size and it's internally regulated.
the gze alt is special to the MK1 s/c's... unfortunately.
you may be able to take yours in and have it rebuilt if you have any special companies.... heck, they might even have something meant for another car sitting on the shelf that works.... but there is not another Toyota in the US that uses the same alt.
