I don't know about an 01 Outback (as I just bought an '10 Forester and it's my first Subaru), but the VR and diode rectifier for my model have separate part numbers for purchase (if you don't mind pulling the alternator apart!).

Before you tackle this job, I suggest that you take the alternator to someplace to test it (as gschotland recommended) so you don't change parts that are working fine.
