Default External Regulator on Chevy "Stock" Alternator

This may seem an "Odd" question, but there will be some sense to it as I progress with my project:

Has anyone added an external regulator (Balmar - or other e.g.; booster's Ample Power SAR v3) to the "Stock" Alternator?

I believe booster's experience may be most germane as his regulator will drive dual alternators, but I want to know if others have too.
My concern is; there are 2 connections on the Chevy Van Alternator that are linked to the Ecm (Electronic control module). see images below:



I searched through the 300+ pages of the 2008 Electrical Manual, and come up with only two other locations these controls connect to. One connects to the Ecm Crank Relay, the other to fuel controls.





So, if you have added an external regulator, and eliminated the 2 connections to the Alternator - has everything been OK? Or was there something else you were required to accomplish? Did you have a special adapter cable? Any part numbers, etc are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers - Jim
