It is easy!

Find a donor non-air conditioned Golf/Jetta(mid to late '80's) from the
junkyard that has the 90A alternator. Get the alternator, belt and brackets.
Snip the wires off the big plastic connector that you use now on the
alternator, and install ring terminals on the red wires, and a female spade
connector on the blue wire for the idiot light.
