Alternator wiring

Hey guys so I got a new alternator from a guy I work with and it has a regulator on it so I don't need the regulator that was on bolted to the radiator support. But I'm kinda second guessing what wires I need to hook up to the alternator, and what ones I need to hook to the new regulator. This is what I was thinking
Don't need yellow from original harness?Green/red to yellow wire on regulator ?






Don't need white?

In that last picture with wires and you holding the voltage regulator plug. The yellow wire with the female spade connector is for your horn hook up and the metal condenser looking thing is for noise suppression for your radio.

FYI
