Rob, Your brakes will work, they just will not have abs function. You could take vehicle into a good shop and have scanned for codes, diagnosed and repair estimate.

This is some shots of me making my access panel for my fuel pump in my 86 Trans AM. The fuel tank is a 2002 plastic fuel tank. You'll notice ...
Oldsmobile Alero cars & trucks access fuel pump trunk questions and ... Some cars have an access panel in the trunk under the carpeting, near the back seat on the ... is there an access to the fuel pump beside dropping the tank not unless you cut a ... ...no access hole you have to take the fuel tank out to replace the pump.
quick way to see if a coil pack is firing with out using a thousand dollar analyzer is to use your twenty dollar timing light , just connect the power clamps as normal , but move the pick up to each branch pigtail wire to each plug , and ck to see if light flashes in a normal pattern , if it no flashes or don't flash in a pattern then that coil pack or spark plug is bad (id try the plugs first )
easy ,ask a old school mechanic to do it for you ,never use a torque wrench i go by the feel ,hard to explain but when you tighten nuts and bolts all day?' its like riding a bike
A defective speed sensor will normally cause the check engine light to illuminate as well as affect speedometer operation/cruise control operation/and transmission shifting depending on make and model. It should not affect the vehicle from reaching speed. IS the check engine light on? If so, was it scanned for codes that may point you in the right direction. You may have an exhaust/converter problem starting to develop that will cause a lack of power resulting in reaching higher speeds
a bad battery would give a wrong judgement of an alternator output. take off your battery and replace with a working one, test your alternator output using a DMM it should read about 12.5 when engine off and 14v when engine start running any figure more or less shows you have a bad alternator or an incorrect input current to the alternator....hope this fixxx it?
The alternator is fielded/grounded by the PCM. You need wiring schematics. Check continuity between the alternator and PCM for the field wire. If it is good, the PCM has lost the ground for the alternator(if not, fix or run a new wire). You can fix it two ways. First replace the PCM and have it programmed to the car. This cost money and it will turn the battery light off. Second, is to cut the field wire close( give yourself room to work) to the alternator, add wire to it and ground it to the engine(making sure the engine has a ground strap to the body). This may or may not turn the battery light off. But it will charge the battery.
The fuse for the cig. lighter and accessory power outlet on your Alero should be located in the engine compartment fuse block. Marked minifuse #34. Good luck!

5 W 30 for the oil and the 2.2 Ecotec engine takes 5.8 qts and the V6 3400 takes 4.5 qts as far as the oil filter also depends on the engine. the 2.2 takes a paper element. look to the right of the engine and you'll see a black round canister with a hex looking nut attached to the top. I belive it's 32mm. use an extension but be careful putting it back on because the cap is just plastic Do not overtightnen! just snug it up firmly

From here, it looks like you have some bad connections or your DTC is in the process of dying.
IF you have recently changed the gauge cluster then the 'security' or 'anti theft' needs to recognize the new cluster. The system will need to be reset.
It's been a few years but if I remember correctly you need to turn the key on, then off 3 times, then turn the key to the on position and leave it there for 10 minutes. Then turn the key off for a few seconds. After that, the vehicle SHOULD start and stay running.
If the gauge cluster hasn't been changed then I really don't have an answer.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
If it is a 6cyl it is in the front of the motor to the left of the oil filter. If a 4 cyl it is in the back of the engine directly above the starter next to the crank sensor. Hope this helps
