Charge wire from alternator to battery:

And my new battery.

Youll want to run a nice ground from the battery to the frame. Hit the frame with a grinder and use a SS bolt. Then, from Engine to frame.

Big 3 Upgrade is battery + to alternator +, battery - to chassis ground, engine ground (alternator mounting bolt) to chassis ground. 1/0 stranded copper cable. You can follow the factory wiring and there is no need to remove it.
