stock alt. watts?

could anybody tell me what the stock alternator put out watt wise in a 89. 92 iroc with dual fans, fuel pump, lights, radio etc..? i just hooked up a single electric fan to my '83 z-28 efi and now the voltage drops below 13 v at idle! never did this with the mech. fan! is the drain that much? i believe stock for me is 80 watts.what have you guys needed to put in your modded rides?
