The best advice I ever got years ago was to always replace one wire at a time and label the end where you take it off and where it goes with a piece of masking tape and a number written on it or some other means of id. This work whether it is a bettery cable,sparkplug wire or any other electrical connection. If you just do one wire at a time there is a reasonable amount of logic to it and you don't always have to label them if you are confident that you can remember. The same goes with vacuum hoses on a car too.

Hope you get it back together with the red positive cable back to the starter along with the other wire that goes to the alternator. This of coarse is the larger that goes to the starter and the smaller red wire that came from the + terminal on the battery . The black - terminal of the battery has the black cable that goe to somewhere on your block or to the alternator bracket on most Camaros.

Hope this all makes sense and you get it back correctly.
