My new project

Ok so now I'm going to install a new battery and alternator, heres why.
The other night going to work my headlights were dim and my voltmeter showed less than 11 volts. When I tried to drive home the car died as soon as I turned on the headlights. So I hooked up a portable charger to the battery and left it under the hood and drove the remaining 2 miles home. So the system wont charge and it only runs on battery. The battery and alternator both seemed old so they'll need replacement soon anyways. I got a new battery and ordered the new alternator and then went under my dash and found that the ammeter has never been bypassed even though it didnt move. So I cut the red and black wires and wirenutted them together and wrapped it thoroughly with electric tape.
I next cleaned the bulk head connector contacts as best I could and they seem ok.
So heres my question. and I know this has been explained alot and I've researched it already I'm just looking for a few quick thumbs up or agreements so I know I'm doing the right thing for reliability. The new alternator has a power post, a ground post and 2 feild terminals.
I plan to connect the black power wire to the power post, the small (blueish)wire to the feild terminal and then connect another 10guage with fusable link wire from the power post to the starter relay big post that has 2 wires already. Do I need to do anything with the other small feild terminal on the alternator like connect it to the ground post? I want to hook it up right the first time to avoid any problems or shorts.
