You are also replacing the wire from the ALT to the battery (starter relay). They sell a kit that includes a fuse in this wire. I bought mine from ebay.

Edit: this is with a 3G alternator

Yes, I would upgrade to a #6 conductor for the main power feed (black with orange stripe conductor). If you stay with the original style alternator with the separate voltage regulator mounted on the fender apron the rest of the conductors will remain the same. If you change to a one-wire alternator or upgrade to a 3G Ford alternator you will replace the alternator wire harness.
