LS conversion alternator wiring question

I tried this in the ls swap with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 69 C10 I have put a 6.0 and my first time messing with efi stuff to this extent. I have looked over the wiring in the truck and double checked the electrical diagrams in the service manual but want to ask the people who have done this before to make sure I’m on the right track.

I moved the battery to the drivers side, and removing the ammeter and external regulator.... hoping to clean up some wiring since it won’t be used.

Can I remove the blue, white and brown wires completely (and de pin the brown wire from the bulk head in the firewall) cut and solder the red wire to go from the battery straight to the bulk head on the firewall (with a bnew blade style fin line fuse) and run a new say 8 gauge wire from the ls alternator to the battery? Hope that makes sense... just want to make sure I’m doing it correctly and don’t want my truck to burn down lol
