Jeff: The Bosch alternator should be available thru Rock Auto Parts. 
(rockauto.com).
It's Bosch P/N 13107, 55A, and was available on the fiestas that had A/C. 
Price was IIRC under $60.
Usually, it will come with the pulley, but sometimes their stock does not 
have one, but it's available thru. Jegs,e.g.
