Default Alternator Wiring help please.

Ok I changed the head gaskets on my 96 blazer and like a dumb a$$ I did not mark my wires. I know I got all the other wires right, because they pretty much can only get clipped to the stuff with the same clips, but need to know how many ring terminal wires get bolted on to the alternator's + bolt? I know the one from the + side of the battery get bolted on there, but I have another ring terminal that has two wires crimped to it and can't remember if they bolt up to the alternator or not. I did the work on the engine a while back and am just now getting back to it. The blazer has the vortec 4.3 in it.

The wiring schematic shows the main 12ga fusible link from the battery to the back of the alternator along with two others, another 12ga and a 16ga, both with fusible links. The additional 12ga goes to the power distribution center and the 16ga goes to the starter relay.
