My 1995 Legacy's alternator looks identical to this one, including the black shield that protects the pulley. I replaced my alternator a few months ago and it was just as you describe.

One point: It's easier and just as safe to remove the negative battery lead instead of the positive lead. Fiddling with the positive lead could cause a spark if you touch metal, but it's not a problem with the negative lead.
