FC fuseblock swap help

alright. i've got everything wired up. but i dont know what to do with the old wire that came off the alternator. it appears to go down the wiring harness and back into the car. and then a similar white and red wire comes back out of the same harness and goes to the MAIN on the fusable links. what do i do with this wire that comes off the alt and takes goes off into the car? thanks.

Both WR wires attach to the main link (center) across from where you attach the incoming wire that comes from the battery (+) terminal. Sorry, no pics of boobies.

Not to detract from the boobie-talk, but is there an official write-up? I searched but came up empty. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

If we post a step-by-step, wacky will miss out on his case of heines. We can't have that!

Seriously, I don't think there has been a step-by-step, but it isn't too hard. I can draw up a simple diagram or something if I have time.

Even after installing my E6X, just thinking about electrical stuff makes me nervous. I just want to clean up the mess I left using the stock fusible link setup. I'll take a look at the link, thanks!
