My thought. But, on my 85 CA 300D, the bolts aren't that long, w/ maybe just 4 threads for the hex nuts that screw on to stand-off the heat shield, so might be a kludge to the standard alternator bolts. I would think if you cut them shorter, NAPA wouldn't notice or care when returned. The main reason for cutting is so you can better swing a wrench when installing/adjusting. The CA heat shield makes that task more challenging.
