Default Altenator replacement help needed

Folks,
I'm replacing the motor in my 67. The new crate engine will have a new 100 amp altenator that has the regulator built in. I need help on wiring it up. I removed the regulator connector (4 wire) and the two wires connected to the capacitor clamp (assume ground connections for something?) and the battery, ground and another two wire plug in connection (plug) at the altenator.

The new altenator (which I have not seen yet) has a one wire connection I've been told.

Any ideas, help and expecially pictures would be appreciatded.

Thanks.
