Horrible.

Yes, but the charging stud is larger (8mm vs. 6mm) so you'll need to either drill out the ring terminal on the charging lead or replace it with a larger terminal. They're both 80A units though so there's nothing gained aside from getting a working alternator on the car. Everything else plugs in. Make sure to ground the case properly and do not lose the plastic insulator on the charging stud. People do that weekly on here.
