Yes to all the above, except for alternator, subsitute generator (maybe 2
bs heavier than alternator?)
The weight may be off by a few lbs, as the grain scales I used hadn't
been calibrated in donkey's years. They were some my father in law uses
to roughly measure materials on his farm. (Don't ask what materials, I
haven't the foggiest idea! I lost all interest in farm work when I found
out some tractors had Tri***h engines)
