Depends on year of engine. But if you're staying EFI, and ots an 04 or older, the wires go to the PCM and yoy don't have to do anything to them.

What wire do I hook to the 04 alternator the brown wire or the red wire from this plug

The red is just basically battery +. The brown is just the dummy light to dash warning light. Does your LS alternator have 3 wires on plug? On mine the white also had to goto bat +

U should really googles some pics of F-body, truck style, corvette , etc alternators cause alot of them use different plug shapes. After u determine what style alternator u actually have u can figure out which pins to use. Post a pic!

As Downset71 said, post a pic of your alternator. My pic shows clearly which pin on a corvette alternator needs to be connected, and how. I'm going to guess that your connections won't be very different, but ya never know.
