Default Alternator wire to battery

I have a 65 GTO that I am restoring and I am upgrading the electrical system to a Delco 94amp 12si with internal regulator. I am planning on adding more electrical items to the car so I was thinking of running a bigger wire directly from the alternator to the battery with an in line fuse to handle the added accessories. My question is, if I run this new bigger wire directly to the battery can I still connect the original wire from the wire harness to the alternator that runs to the starter?

Also, since I have Edelbrock heads the original place to attach the battery ground wire to is no longer there because the original head bolts were replaced. The previous owner had the ground connected to the bolt that holds the alternator bracket to the head. Is there any place that is not recommended for connecting the battery ground because it will cause noise problems with the radio, like to the alternator itself? There is an extra bolt hole in the head above the alternator bracket, would this be an acceptable location for the battery ground?

Thanks for your help and advice,
Dale
