Alternator conversion

I am in the process of converting the v-belt setup on my '84 Z28 to the serpentine setup from my '91 RS but I need to figure out how to run the '91 alternator on the '84. How do I wire it specifically. The pics below are of the '84 alt and the '91 alt.

Just wire it like the 84 ...brown to brown and the regulator red to the BAT post on the rear.
