Was this used alternator known to be good?

Did you recheck your wiring connections, belt tension etc after your install?

With the vehicle running if you remove a battery clamp briefly does the engine die?

Your battery could be the culprit as well, if it has a cell shorted it out it could be killing off your alternator.

Did you have the alternator you removed tested at a part store? Crappy Tire and the sort will generally do this for free.
Do not do this. If you disconnect your battery while running you stand a very real chance of blowing out your voltage regulator.
