Default alternator up top wiring?

so i am learning that the xj and me like to go swimming i already have a snorkel and all the good stuff but i haven't moved my alternator to the top yet. now i know i won't have any ac but i already don't bc of a OBA system and i take my doors off in the summer so no worries and the OBA system is out already.

well i was reading around here and on some other sites and none of them explain what you have to do to the wiring i know it will have to be extended but can i just splice in a wire or do i have to replace the whole thing. i am not all that great with electric but i can hook up wires and stuff if i have something to show me how like pics or drawing. any help would be good
