Al,
Do you really want a one-wire? You pay more for it, it doesn't work as well, and you still have to deal with the leftover wires in your harness. I'd recommend sticking with the Delco #7127 three-wire as described on the website referenced above.
The only thing I'd add to Teglerizer's site would be a note about the brown/yellow wire. In your harness, you'll have what appears to be three brown/yellow wires, but it is actually only two. One of the wires goes up into the harness a few inches and then comes right back out again. Just remove this short piece of wire and treat the remaining brown/yellow wire as described by Teglerizer.
If you're a VTR member, you can get more details on the TR web site.

Al,
The one-wire would be less trouble if you were wiring from scratch, but since you already have the extra wires to deal with, it's just as much trouble to eliminate them (if not more) than it is to go ahead and use them.
