Upgaded Alternator in my 80

I installed a S4 alternator in my 80. How do I bypass the external regulator? Do I just run the output wire to my battery instead of the regulator?

Hi-
check out this site:

should help....
If you have a 1980, the original Voltage Reg should be built IN to the alternator. Only the 79s had external. At least, the N. American spec cars did
