Alternative alternator to fit straight into 2ltr Aircooled

Hi folks, can anyone help!!
I am looking at wanting to increase the amps coming out of my alternator, does anyone know if there is an alternative to the standard air-cooled unit that can be fitted straight in without the need for modification.
