Here is what I found with regard to alternators.  The Geo Metro and Isuzu Sidekick alternator is a little lighter, but I didn't have a scale.  It does fit the bracket on the engine, but the bolt is much smaller diameter (close to 1/4 inch).  It is also only 55 AMPs. 
 
I opted for the stock Mazda alternator.  It weighs slightly more, but puts out 70 AMPs, and the bolt is the right size.
 
Hope this helps save someone else some time.
