Default 3G Alt Upgrade - Do I need these parts?

I just picked up a 3g(130 amp) alternator from late model restoration...

Which of these kits do I need to install this in a clean and professional manner?

OR

http://www.paperformance.com/scripts...p?idproduct=74


Also, should I pick up this kit?

Thanks for any and all help.

Right, but when he says

"You can get the plug from the local junkyard, use the complete harness available from Ford Racing or use a small female spade connector, it's your choice. We spent part of the afternoon looking for one at the local junkyard, but as you will see it looks much more like a factory installation"

I'm wondering which of those kits is the right connection for me.
