Total amp draw? Don't know but I'm always thinking "rather too much and not need it than need it and not have it." (paraphrasing Sun Tzu, lol)

Go for eye surgery Monday AM so everything will be on hold for a bit, pull the trigger when I can...or stay with stock alternator with a new belt.....hmmmm....
You didn't say what gauge wire from the alternator to the battery. Where's the battery? The longer the run the bigger wire you need to carry amperage.
