So I just finished up my 6.2 swap to 454. Everything went pretty good other then forgetting to fill my PS with fuild before breaking in the CAM

Not a real big deal but still pissed me off.
My big issue I'm having is my PW and wipers are not working as good as they should. Or at least like they did before the engine swap. I'm using the same alternator that was used on the 6.2. but I don't have both batteries hooked up with the 454. Could this have something to do with my electrical problems ?
Is a 6.2 Alternator required to have two batteries? Or am I missing something else?
