I took an engine out of a 2006 Buick which has a series III 3.8 in it. Anyways the black wire goes to the fuse box, one of the red goes to the starter and I have one more red wire, the alt is already connected and running. The wire has a ring connected at the end so it bolts down somewhere

Not sure how you have the alternator wired, but here's are several drawings from the 1996 Camaro Service Manual showing the battery cable terminations. There should be a cable from the large stud of the alternator to the positive post of the battery in order to recharge the battery.
