Icon5 Can you use an alternator from a 2.0 engine on a 2.2?

I need a new alternator for my 1995 Accord Coupe 2.2, and found one used from a 1996 Accord (CE, CF) with a 2.0 engine.
Will the alternator from that be powerful enough? I'm not very knowledgeable about this.

If the plugs at the voltage regulator are the same then it will work. Although the rated outputs may be different.

​​​​​​​I noticed mine has a 90 Amp output while the 2.0 has a 70 Amp output. I guess that's too big of a difference?
