Does anyone know what the specific application was when Mazda switched away from having the alternator bolt to the water pump? I ordered a kit from rockauto for a '94 (which is what my car claims to be) and the water pump that came with it lacks the bolt hole. Is this a rockauto issue, or should I bite the bullet and buy another kit?
For reference, this is the kit I bought: "CONTITECH TB179LK2" More Information for CONTITECH TB179LK2
Sorry for noob question.

That looks like a 1.6 setup water pump. It should be the 1.8 water pump that has the alternator bracket on it. I get all my timing belt and water pump kits from Ebay. You just want to make sure to get a GMB water pump.
