I would upgrade to an A2 90A alternator, it has a bolt-on + terminal that
way you can connect it directly.

If you want to keep your old alternator, then you could run it to the
starter or a terminal block and connect both of the alternator +
terminals to it.

The A2 alternator upgrade is definitely worth considering, used is $50 or
less and rebuilt is $120.
