Default Higher Output Alternator Question

Hey Guys,

I need a little help here with my electical system. Currently I'm in the process of putting in a 200amp alternator into my 95 SC4 while replacing the power steering pump. Anyways, I'm sort of worried that the extra output might be too much or fry something. I will be changing the stock wiring from the alternator to battery positive terminal with 0gauge. It will go to a distribution box and then to the yellow top optima that's in the trunk. I looked up my manual and it says that there is a ALT150A fuse and a Main60A fuse... basically, I'm asking if this higher output amp will be okay, or if I have to replace a fuse with a high amp fuse or something.

Thanks,
Anthony

PS. I decided to replace my alternator because, every light in the cabin would dim with usage from say the power seats or turn signals, etc. For example, with my HIDs on at night, i turn on the hazards, the fog lights would dim to the beat of the hazards and so would the internal cabin lights. Also have a AVN 5435 installed that would restart on it's own sometimes.

Normally guys upgrade their alt to a more powerful one because they have audio systems. You should be fine with your main fuses.
