2 wire alt to 3 wire alt conversion...

I am switching to a serpentine setup that requires me to use different accessories and need to switch from a 2 wire plug alternator to one with a 3 plug wire, can anyone please tell me what each wire does and how to wire it in?

Make sure you swap in the reverse rotation water pump - serp systems used a reverse rotation pump all others used a standard rotation pump.
