You'll still need the information from that green label on the alternator, it also tells you the output which can vary enormously from 45A to 100A or even 120A on some models.

In fact, looking up the 2.3 non-turbo 940 for 1990-94 reveals there are no less than 7 different alternators fitted! They vary from 55A to 100A so there's plenty of room for error!
It's fine (and often desirable) to go up on the output but going lower can often cause problems, especially if your runs are mainly short ones or you do a lot of town driving.
