16V alternator question again HELP !

[theonlyred16v@hotmail.com (Brian Haygood)]

I checked at one FLAPS and they brought me a "Tube" type with a non-A/C 
pulley and swore it was for an A/C 16v car.  That was advanced Auto.  It was 
also some bastard brand that looked like crap (are non-A/C pulleys always 
sheetmetal?).
