I forgot to mention that a cheaper way to keep the OEM alternator and voltage regulator would be to get a used Alternator from an auto recycler or junk yard. This is the route I've gone for my '05 Vibe as well as my 2zr swap. FWIW my used OEM alternator that I installed during my swap went bad about 50k km later and I just picked up another one.

Main reason I went this route is I have a recycler 1km from my house and they go for about $100, less than half of what a reman'd unit goes for
