I build cnc plasma cutter.
I have UCCNC (like a Mach3) , Proma Compact THC 150 and floating head.

I think the Mach3 posts should be pretty much compatible. First try the 'Mach3 plasma' post processor. This version does not use the THC which simplifies testing. You will have to manually set the height of the torch - jog it down until it just touches the work then zero the Z axis. Once yo uhave it cutting with this post, try the 'Mach3 THC with scriber' post. After selecting the post click on the 'Edit post' button. At the start of the file are a number of configuration options that you need to set to suit your machine. You can ignore the scriber stuff.
