I have a quick question about chaning out the "big 3" when changing the wire that goes from the (+) on the battery to the alternator do I disconnect the wire that is currently hooked to the alt or do I leave it connected and connect the new one for the big 3 as well.

More wire = more conductivity

Just to be sure I have it right. After adding the new wire from bat, to alt. I would then have a total of 2 wires going to the alt?

Im guessing that goes for the neg to chassis, and neg to block as well?

well you can find a new spot on the chasis, or use the existing one, just make sure it's clean. what i do is run a wire from the engine block to the negative post on the battery and then ground the battery. i also leave the stock ground on as well
