I have seen a couple (not many) swaps in which the idle is set so low (or so erratic) that the alt doesn't put out consistent current...but it would show up as SOMETHING, not just 0.
Are you sure the wiring/plug is correct? There were two styles, depending on the year of the alternator. Originally, I got the wrong one and couldn't make a useful connection to the alt. If you look at my build (somewhere around the first 1/3), I show the alt and the plugs it had (and needed).

No slip at all, and the power steering fluid is just static. I took off the return line and it started gushing "chocolate milk". I let it pour it all out and then refilled it. Still no power steering.
I have the right plug and the ground is good on it.
Also, no powdercoating here, just the stock bracket.
