Alternator Install

My alternator crapped out on me and I'll be receiving a new one this weekend. When I install the new alternator are there specific torques for the bolts, or do I just make sure they're snug? Thanks.

snug might be ok, but if you want the
full blown procedure here it is.

It's a Duralast from Autozone. I just wanted a replacement, nothing fancy. I'm picking it up today and I'm going to compare it to the factory one to make sure all is correct.
