questions about battery disconnect wiring
To keep the ammeter as a useful indicator of battery charging and discharging, then the power connection to the relay must be kept on the alternator side of the ammeter. I would probably add both wires if keeping the ammeter. The reason is it provides a second path for the alternator power to get inside the car. The reason being that the original wire often has oxidation and sometimes damage at the bulkhead connector and elsewhere.
