Yes, what kind. A 200 amp sounds like an aftermarket type, possibly with one wire hook-up?

Here's a wiring diagram for the newer alternator. The only wire you need to keep up with is the one that comes from the light if you have an alt light in the dash, or the wire from the keyswitch if you have a ammeter. The rest of the original wires will go, and you will run new heavier wires to the battery and or the starter relay.
