aftermarket serpentine setup, or factory style?
Monte Carlos with V8's (for sure) starting around '85 went with a semi-serpentine setup, alternator being one that is serpentine. Still the same style wiring.
Trucks went with that system for awhile, but I'm not sure of the years either.
I'm assuming though, that the semi-serpentine alternator will work with a full serpentine setup. I'm 99% sure it will, but I've never dealt with the full setup.

IIRC the single wire setups have a self exciter installed in the altenator.
