Two more things:

1) Ground wires are brown. Always, or nearly always.

2) The shims adjust the distance between the fan and pulley, to adjust for belt wear. The correct number of shims MUST be installed under the alternator nut. Some of them go between the pulley half and the fan, and the rest go under the "cup" that is between the nut and the pulley half. I am not clear on how many shims are required, but they all must be in there in one location or the other.
