The bracket for the 91 has the A/C compressor on top and the alternator on bottom, an idler, and the fan pulley mount sticking out the center. The four holes on top are to screw the A/C compressor down on the bracket.



The alternator goes underneath, with two small pieces that hold it against the block and the bracket. This one is for the rear, it bolts to the block (the two holes on the ground) and then the alternator bolts to the front of it (the large holes on the ears)



The front piece is stamped steel not cast aluminum and has a few holes in it. That piece goes on the front and clamps the alternator in place against the rear brackets. Here's a pic of the bracket upside down

Note in Ehall's nice illustrations above the second photograph of the aluminum bracket. In that bracket is a bushing, and when the through bolt is tightened (the one that the alternator pivots on) that bushing is pushed snug against the alternator. To fit a new alternator in, you may need to push that bushing out a bit for clearance.
