If your alternator is bad, you may want to hold off on installing those underdrive pulleys for now. If it's up to par, you should not have any problems with the pulley kit... the 95 GT actualyl has a decent stock alternator.
yep, thats why im asking! this guy who is a friend of mine told me that i shouldnt put it on with my alternator like that.

I would just wait and see what the problem is. Because if it is your alternator and you throw a set of pullies on it you will be going through hell

I did the same thing and mine works great! Only paid 130 for mine and my car never gets hot even with the S/C!

You can get a nice three core copper rad instead of spending a boat load of cash for an aluminum one. And soposedly copper cools better than aluminum anyway. I got my copper three core for $160 from a local radiator shop.

You went through hell putting it in, but it does look nice now that you have it done. And here's the best part about it... you now know how to do it! I bet that if you have a friend with an SN95, you'd be able to install it for them in no time.

Just to warn you, it's gonna be a pain in the *** to swap out the alternator pulley, LoL. I prefer loosening the bolts before taking the tension off of it. Others may disagree but it makes it a LOT easier, in my opinion.
